So his parents were Graves Thomas Archer and Lucy Onslow.

In 1939 he was called ‘Herbert’, hence the trouble I had in finding this record, and 3 of his 7 children were at Foxley, Marlpit Lane, Seaton, Devon:
Birth Marital
First name(s) Last name(s) date Sex Occupation status Schedule Schedule sub number
Herbert G Archer 16 Nov 1869 M Incapacitated W 26 1
Geoffrey H R Archer 23 Feb 1910 M Agricultural Training S 26 2
John G Archer 19 Feb 1914 M Market Gardener S 26 3
Richard R Archer 13 Apr 1918 M Student S 26 4
Gertrude M West 05 May 1896 F Housekeeper S 26 5
Sidney A Wood 01 Dec 1886 M Male Nurse M 26 6
1939 ref: RG101/6832B/005/20
___________
His birth date is two days earlier than that given at his baptism; I’ll believe the baptism theory as two of the people involved in his birth were at the baptism.
The three other children living in 1939 may have their birth dates given as well in the 1939 register. The challenge is to find them.
