"1905 Sept. 25 born Sept. 22 1899 No. 782 Frank Nelson, parents George & Louise Goatham, abode: 11 Waddon New Rd, father's occupation: Carpenter, ceremony performed by: R. W. Hoare"
Gender Male Education 1910 Parish Church Senior Boys School, Croydon, Surrey, England School Middle name relationship Not found as a family surname, probably after Horatio Nelson - Although his parents middle names to all of their children and did give family surnames as middle names to a couple of their children (their first and 10th children who were their first and 6th sons) most had traditional Christian names for their middle names. With the son born immediately before Frank being called 'Horatio' it would appear they were paying tribute to the famour admiral.

Residence 1939 130, Norbury Avenue, Croydon, Surrey, England - Frank was with his wife and one other, a policeman Harry Meads, bron 1890, I guess probably boarding or lodging with Frank and Clarisse.
