Wow Shera thanks very much! The addresses ties in as does his brothers names. How did you find out this info? I've been really fustrated trying to find out anything other than the census.
I wondered what he did in the Great War - not sure what an "Artificier" is, but I'll hunt that down on the Net.
Unfortunately there is absolutely nobody I know to ask, but thanks to you I now have an outline of his life.

Once again many thanks for your prompt assistance.
 
the information came from a site i subscribe to with birminghams electoral rolls - midlands historical data.
