In the 1911 census he was ‘Retired Lieut Scots Guards’!  And was living at 36 Bloomfield Terrace, Pimlico, SW.  The actual form he completed also says he was a ‘Voluntary Worker Charity Organisation Society’.
______________

In 1939 the report shows his, his wife with her birth date and probably also her mother plus three closed records which may have included some children:

Lound Hall , Lothingland R.D., Suffolk, England

As his parents were still in their family home in 1939, I wonder where this home came from?  Was it his mother-in-law’s or was it rented?  I can’t see that he would have bought it from his incomes as a retired army officer.

Their children from a search for Adderley births with a mother’s maiden name of Birkbeck

Last name  First name(s)  Year Of Birth  Location
Adderley   Rosemary E     1913           Staines, Middlesex
Adderley   John A         1916           Staines, Middlesex
Adderley   Michael C      1917           Grantham, Lincolnshire
Adderley   Mary           1922           Mutford, Suffolk

But I can’t find the fifth dau.  BP says she was Elizabeth Joan born 12 Jun 1919.  The answer was quite simple: the GRO site had the mother’s maiden name as Birkbeak and FindMyPast correctly transcribed it from the old index sheets as Birkbock!

So we have, additionally:

Adderley   Elizabeth J    1919           Mutford, Suffolk

and the individual index lines from the GRO are:

Name:                                Mother's Maiden Surname:
ADDERLEY, ROSEMARY ETHELDREDA     BIRKBECK  
GRO Reference: 1913  D Quarter in STAINES  Volume 03A  Page 7
ADDERLEY, JOHN ARDEN              BIRKBECK  
GRO Reference: 1916  M Quarter in STAINES  Volume 03A  Page 2
ADDERLEY, MICHAEL CHARLES         BIRKBECK  
GRO Reference: 1917  J Quarter in GRANTHAM  Volume 07A  Page 706
ADDERLEY, ELIZABETH JOAN          BIRKBEAK  
GRO Reference: 1919  S Quarter in MUTFORD  Volume 04A  Page 1736
ADDERLEY, MARY       
GRO Reference: 1922  D Quarter in MUTFORD  Volume 04A  Page 1746

The original paper index sheets have Birkbeck for the mother’s maiden name of Mary, so I don’t know why the new GRO index has it left out.  I have told them and hope they may re-check.
