I was looking for Jesse in 1891, and couldn't find him

The only birth I could find was for Samuel Jesse Tombs 1884 Shipston On Stour. I wonder if that is him

There is no birth registration for a Jessie

Is there any chance that Percy Tombs age 18 b. ca 1883 could be the same person as Jesse Tombs age 7 b.ca 1884 on the 1891?


Births Jun 1884 (>99%)
Tombs Percy Cheltenham 6a 431



but I cannot find a registration for a Jesse born ca 1884 in Cheltenham


this is the closest I could get

Births Sep 1884 (>99%)
Tombs Samuel Jesse Shipston 6d 649



Percy is not on the 1891, Jesse is


Jesse is not on the 1901, Percy is

The age for William F looks more like 1 year than 7, but it does have a funny "hook" on it on the left side top.
