Aged 19

That means I can only record "most likely to be" in many cases for the civilian identity Apparently:- Hugh MILLER was born in 1882 (2nd qtr Mildenhall 4a:661) son of John and Frances A MILLER (née RAVEN) 1891 census...Aged 8, one of twins, he was at North Road, Mildenhall with his father John MILLER [47] veterinary surgeon, born Willingham, Cambs; his mother Frances 48] born Mundford; sisters Alice [23] born Littleport and Edith [17]; brothers Cecil [15], Fred [13], Frank [10], Mansel [8] and Edward [6]. All the children except Alice were born in Mildenhall By 1901 census just his parents and sister Alice remained at North Terrace. Hugh has not been found in this census, presumably in South Africa, initially as a civilian. |
