Note on Husband: William Henry MADGE

On 28 Feb 1883 William Made swore a declaration before a JP in Newport, Isle of Wight, that his date of birth was 16 April 1853.

 

This was probably because there was no birth certificate , and no birth registered. This appears to be a practice that he continues, as the births of his children were not registered it seems. Furthermore this date was not the date recorded for him in his naval record, which was 2 January 1853, in Sandford.
