Profile
Full name Frank Jefferis
Born 3 July 1884 in Fordingbridge, Hampshire [registered in Fordingbridge, September 1884].

Census Notes

According to the 1891 census, Frank is the sixth of seven children to John and Ester. His father is a waterman, and they live in Church Street in Fordingbridge.

According to the 1901 census, Frank is the youngest of four still at home with their parents in Church Street. HIs father remains a waterman.

According to the 1911 census.....
Died 21 May 1938, at New Cross Ground, Millwall, aged 53 years 322 days [registered in Deptford, London, June 1938].
Death notes His death registration states that he was 50 years old when he died. This adds to the confusion that he may have been born in 1888.  But his census returns and birth registration confirm his correct year of birth.  And his death registration must be an error, or this is the wrong Jefferis.
Height/Weight 5' 8½", 11st. 4lbs [1912].
