Notes for Major Ernest Charles Penn Curzon
FreeBMD has an Ernest Gerald Curzon born in Q3 of 1855 (not right) in the Wandsworth district, vol 1d, p. 370. Doesn’t seem like him. Further in Q4 of 1856 and Q1 of 1857 there is no Curzon with a name remotely like his. Further there is no Ernest Charles with a surname remotely like Curson born in those two quarters. Born abroad?
No death reocrd on FreeBMD up to 1930. He was at his daughter’s wedding to earl Howe in 1927.
In 1911 he was at his mother-in-law’s, though his wife was elsewhere. Someone entered, and someone else deleted, that he had been married for 28 years had three children of whom two were living. His son did the census entry for his grandmother.
