Notes for Herbert Jefferis Coles
His birth?

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Sep 1875
Coles Herbert Jefferis Oxford 3a 671
________________________

I can find neither he nor his wife in the 1911 census, though their son was with his grandmother.  I suspect they were abroad.

In 1891 there was a Herbert Coles boarding at a school in Tiverton and born in Oxford.

In 1881 there was a family of a printer and stationer in Broad St, Oxford with a Herbert J Coles aged 4, but this age does not quite agree with the birth registration.

Also in 1881 there was a vicar’s grandson Herbert J Coles living with his grandparents Rev Jefferis W and Mary J B Coles.  This has to be him.  His mother was also there, but no sign of his father:
