Notes

I cannot find an entry for his birth or christening. His parents did not marry until 1884 in Farnham. However a Thomas Jeffery Jeffery was registered in April-June 1876 in Wandsworth (1d 711) which included Tooting - was this him, and if so who was his father?

In the 1881 census as Thomas Larbey aged 5, born in London, Surrey, and living with his grandparents (Charles and Jane Larbey), uncle (William) and aunt (Ada) at Hatch Cottage, Frensham, Surrey.
