It doesn't appear to be the one in Reading, marred an Elizabeth Dearlove. Born in Hertfordshire and in Reading in 1921.

Unfortunately, there's no way to be sure what happened to him as far as I can see. The last certain sight of him is on the 1901 census with his mother and siblings. After this it's just guesswork. On the 1911 census there are 3 possibilities, two of which are in the army (in India or Isle of...

More info that's not very relevant. James Wilson's mother was also a Studholme and his wife was his cousin. Mother and wife were both called Barbara.

Most of his children were baptised at St George's and Studholme was a c of e rector so it would seem unlikely.

It could be that he was deemed unfit by a local regiment and so tried his luck with the Devonshire Regiment. Not uncommon. Possibly under assumed name, which wouldn't help.
