	Yes thats my John Duffy and his wife on the 1911 Census. I do have my details on Ancestry so more than likely is my tree. I can find John on the 1901 Census with his wife but other than that I am stuck. The mlitary angle was one I hadn't explored. Regards, Jo

	I was clutching at straws really. Just an avenue I hadn't investigated. Should I then assume he didn't go to war. Could he not have been on leave to get his Mrs pregnant?

	As a steelworker it is quite likely he was needed in England. Gwyn
