Notes for Maurice Raymond Gifford CMG
This is probably him in the 1901 census:
Major Maurice R Gifford, married, aged 41, b. in Cirencester, Wilts, a visitor with a Slade family at 11 Chesham Place, Knightbridge. The entry is unclear and he may have retired from the army and become a Company Director (of sorts?).
______________________________________
If the above census entry is correct, then this is his birth:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Jun 1859
Gifford Maurice Raymond Cirencester 6a 317
______________________________________
And here is this death to think about, the age agrees with the above:
Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
Deaths Sep 1910 (>99%)
GIFFORD Maurice R 50 Ware 3a 253
CP and the probate index confirm that this was for him.
______________________________________
The Wetherall book, p. 50 reports that he “raised Gifford’s Horse and went through the South African Boer War and also with the relieving force to Mafeking. He was accidentally burnt to death in 1911.”
