Indeed it is, I have now corrected it.
I have undertaken some further research and found his service papers.
He is shown on the 1901 census as living with his step mother at Oxford Terrace, Kington, Herefordshire. In 1911 he is a joiner, living in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and in December 1915 he enlists in the R.E. as a Sapper with the service number 184903 and remains in England until 1917. He receives 14 days detention for striking a superior officer in February 1917 and by June 1917 he is in France. In November 1918 he is home on leave and dies of Influenza on the 11th November.
