think he was actually Henry George

Name: Henry George Holton
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1877
Registration district: West Bromwich
Inferred County: Staffordshire
Volume: 6b

ties with his army age and born West Bromwich

seems to be a discrepancy in his birth year 1884 on the 1911 census and 1877 on his Army record

wonder f he was in fact Henry George and dropped the Henry
