Gale or Thompson between 1901 & 1916

Mike Fisher

Billesley Boy
I have an Alan King Gale in the 1901 census age 16 grocers assistant born London with his mom in Aberdare, He next appears as John Alan Thompson at his marriage in Oct 1911 in Carbrook Sheffield to Lilian Weaver of 28 Haverlock Rd Handsworth gives his occupation as photographer. He joined up in 1914 and his service record states that he had served a 7 year apprenticeship at the BSA and he was seconded from the ASC to an engineering firm in Sheffield in 1916.
I have both his parents with their households and his future wife with her family in the 1911 census.

But I can't find him under either name
