Re: albert edward hatfield

Possibly he was adopted. There are about 4 albert edwards born in the area that year(from ancestry)(I think they would have kept the christain names) but unfortunately lots of albert E.s

Could this be them? I found this one 1901 census with an Arthur, Annie and Albert, but Albert is down as a brother and is 22.

View attachment 19511 click link

Could Albert have been fibbing when he joined up ? It was known to happen if they were older, or younger than was stated on the requirements. Birth dates and info' were not always checked if a man was willing to join up.....

I've found more than one family member who has fibbed on documents in my own tree!

This looks like Auther's birth
