I can't see a birth or death registered for Arnold.

Unless he's Harold!

Han another look at the 1901

It is Arnold

But strange as usually the children are listed in age order so in theory he should be listed last

H age 6
Arnold age 1
W age 3

So is the age of Arnold wrong on the image

Or is supposed to be........

Hubert 6
Harold 1
Walter 3

But in the wrong order? Which would tie in with the 1911.

Does look more likely that he is Harold

Name: Harold Hensley
Birth Date: 4 Jan 1900
Parish: Burley
Baptism Date: 7 Feb 1900
Father's name: John William Hensley
Mother's name: Eliza Hensley


23 Autumn Avenue

Father John is a wood cutter



Will do a name change on Ancestry as it is Hemsley on image
