https://wolverhamptonswar.wordpress.com ... humphries/

I've been in touch with Andy Johnson Tipton remembers it appears George has slipped through the net. Andy will be adding what info we have soon.

Can anyone help Andy find any more info for George and his family please
The son of John and Mary Jane Humphries, George was born in Tipton in about 1894. In 1901 they were living at 128 Deanes Road, Heath Town, Wolverhampton, together with George’s siblings Mary Jane, Voilet [sic], John, Samuel, William, Leonard and Sydney. I have not been able to find 1911 census or any further army info

Thanks
