This is a somewhat interesting person, in 1861


Name: William Vergis
Age: 21
Estimated birth year: abt 1840
Relation: Soldier
Gender: Male
Where born: Cardline, Devon, England

Civil parish: Farnborough
County/Island: Surrey

ED, institution, or vessel: Foot Regiment 29 North Camp Farnborough


Another military Vergis about the same age -- possibly a brother? If Bernard's father was himself military, it could even explain births of sons in different places.

I know my Devon reasonably well and I don't know what Cardline is; that's what it looks like, but there's no such animal.


1891

Name: William Vergis
Age: 51
Estimated birth year: abt 1840
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Elizabeth
Gender: Male
Where born: Crediton, Devon, England
Occupation: valet
- a not unlikely occupation for ex-military
