Born Bermondsey. Andrew Behan's researches have found that when he was baptised on 7 April 1872 at St Mary Newington Church, Lambeth his date of birth was recorded as 3 September 1860. Lots of interesting information shown on Mapping Sculpture, but I have also found that he was married on 7 September 1899 at St Mary Boltons Church, West Brompton to Bessie Maud Christian Smith who lived at Northgate House, Devizes, Wiltshire. She died on 1 March 1932 when they were living at 40 Onslow Gardens, South Kensington. He died, aged 87 years, on 9 April 1948 at 143 Old Church Street, Chelsea and had been residing at the time at 21 Beaufort Mansions, Chelsea.
