This card relates to Anthony Owen JEFFREY who was born in 1908 - but where?

If it helps at all, his address was Monkland Street, Middlesbrough in 1928.

Thank you. :)
 
That's what I was wondering, Ann. Thank you - it is good to have thoughts confirmed and I have just discovered a birth in Middlesbrough for the right year of an Owen JEFFREY, which might well be him. ;)
 
And I've just found a 3 year old Owen Jeffrey on the 1911 census at 20 Robert Street, Middlesbrough with dad Owen, so maybe they called him Anthony to distinguish him from his father.....:rolleyes:

As this was also the address that Anthony gave on an embarkation record in 1928, I reckon that the job's a goodun! :D

Thank you ladies. ;)

There is an Owen Jeffrey born in Middlesborough in 1905. None in 1908, but in 1926 an Owen Jeffrey married Margaret Downey, they have two sons 'O' 1927 and 'A******' 1934. So it does look like he used Anthony instead of Owen as all generations have an Owen. All these took place in Middlesborough. It seems that post #8 is a red herring. I will say though that there seems to be quite a few Owen Jeffrey's.
Though I do wonder why he went to Canada alone.

Yup. :D I have found him in the 1911 and 1921 censuses as Owen but the address in 1921 is the same one that he gave in 1928 as Anthony O on an embarkation record. No idea where the "Anthony" came from, but he used it when he married as well. :confused:

Found his parents' marriage and his MMN ties in nicely. :) Certificates will be ordered to confirm. ;)
