Thanks, so much Hugh. I do not have the birth certifacate of John, but I do have a copy of his baptism certificate, info on it as follows:
Alleged date of birth: Dec 1 / .1885
Date Baptized : Feb. 14 / 1886
Child's Cristian name: John

Erwin and Mary Large
Abode: Great Frances St.
Quality, Trade or Proffession: Telegraph
Baptism of John Large, in the
Parish of Ashted, county of
Bahmdated 12th of January, 1917
It sounds like these are the same people, the ages are all correct. I wondered what "telegraph" meant.

Hyatt)
I now have a rough idea of when JEL was born, i will ty to find more about him. Thanks Hugh, Regards, Liz
