Note | William George Underwood 1898William George Underwood was born at London in 1898. His parents were Joshua William Underwood born at Bristol, Gloucestershire in 1966 and Matilda Bridle, born at Dorchester, Dorset in 1866, who married at St Giles, London in 1894. His paternal grand-parents were William George Underwood born at Gloucester in 1841 and Emma Birmingham, born at Selworthy, Somerset in 1830, who married at Bristol, Gloucestershire in 1862. His maternal grand-parents were Joseph Bridle and Mary Jane Bridle. REFERENCES 1898 Birth UK Birth index 1898. St Saviour, Jul-Sep, vol 1d, page 113. Underwood, William George. Newington was part of the St Saviour Registration District until 1901, when part of Newington (and all of Kennington Park) was moved to the Lambeth Registration District. 1901 Census. Aldred Road, Walworth, London.
1911 Census. St Mary, Newington, London.
POSSIBLE CONFUSION The 1911 census appear to be the family, but Joshua appears to have changed his name from Joshua to Johnathan and his location of birth from Bristol to Bermondsey! Even the occupation is similar drapers porter (1891 census) drapery warehouseman (1901 census) and wholesale drapery salesman (1911 census). The changes in the birth place of Matilda, from Dorchester to Cerne Abbas, can be explained by Cerne Abbas being on the outskirts of Dorchester. The changes in the birth place of William from Newington, London to Kennington Park, London is explained by the fact that both Newington and Kennington Park both became part of the same registration district in 1901. FUTURE RESEARCH Army service and death needs confirming William may have served in the Army during WWI.
If he lied about his age, he could have joined earlier.
