Profile |
|
Full name |
John Calvey |
|
Born |
23 June 1875 in Stockton-on-Tees, county Durham [registered in
Stockton, Durham, June 1875]. This 1875-born Calvey seems to have died
in 1945 in Cleveland, according to Death Registrations. The same source
states that the 1937-died Calvey in Poplar was born in 1877. Yet
there is no other Calvey born in Teesside at that time, as his 1901/11
census confirm he was born there. To further complicate the issue...
The South Bank born John Calvey named his son John Neal, Neal was the name
of the Stockton-born Calvey's father. |
