    Exclamation James Isaac Penfold

    Hi
    Ive been looking for James Isaac Penfold born 1 nov 1881in Staplehurst, he joined the royal navy in 1899, in 1901 he was living at Hythe, I cant find him on the 1911 census and I cant find a marriage or death for him, believe he reserve a prison sentence around 1899 for false information on attestation paper, any ideas what could have become of him?
    Thanks Carol

    Hello flower30

    I presume you have his attestation papers National Archives WO97 / 3638 / 8

    These mention a mother Ellen & brother Alfred. Have you located them?

    In line with other site/resourcess, we are not permitted to 'do look ups' for the 1911 census, this is to avoid copyright implications.

    Your recourse is to check the voters list and local press for a report on his 'offence'.

    He could have emigrated, I have checked the records availble on line and cannot find him, one thought I had was that he he had left the Army, could he have became a seaman?

    Otherwise looking in the most obvious places, I cannot find!
