Re: death...albert e wood

Albert E Wood age 50 death registered 3qtr 1938 ref 6d 89.

Wasn't your Albert Ernest born in the June quarter of 1888.
He would not have had his birthday by the 1911 census so would have been age 22,but his
death was past his birthday so he was 50 yrs old.

Re: death...albert e wood

Sorry Lyn, I am a bit confused I thought that the Albert age 22 that Di found on the 1911 was your Albert he is 12 on the 1901 with his father Thomas Oakes Wood, and his birth was registered in 1888,making him 50 in 1938.

Your Albert born in 1899,was he born in Birmingham?
