Notes for Wilfred Edward Hailstone
His forenames were originally unknown, only his birth and death years were known. The deduction of Wilfred Edward is as follows:
FreeBMD has this Hailstone birth in the Yorks area around 1864:
Wilfred Edward, Q3 of 1864, Reg Bradford, Yorks, vol 9b, p. 135
and this death in 1881:
Wilfred Edward, Q3 of 1881, aged 16, reg Steyning dist. Sussex, vol 2b, p. 150
(I wonder if he died at a school in Sussex? Not sure as his sister married a year later in the Steyning registration district.)
He was in the 1881 census, living with his mother and sister, but he is named as ‘William’. He was 16 and born in Bradford, Yorks.
