    Notes 
    • There's a mystery surrounding Albert's first marriage, for which I have the marriage certificate copy. The precise details are as follows:
      Marriage by licence at the Register Office, Croydon on 24 January 1918. Albert Edward Minter, 23, bachelor, seaman merchant service of 48 Silcott Street, Brightlingsea, Essex, father Albert Edward Minter, marine engineer. Millicent Alice Saunders, 30, widow of 33 Moffat Road, Thornton Heath, father John Monloy (sic), master baker. Witnesss J Minter, F Foster.
      I've tried all sorts of searches to find Millicent prior to marriage, and to try and find out what happened after the marriage and before Albert married Dorothy in 1923. 'Monloy' looks like a transcription error and could be 'Manley'. If so Millicent could have been she whose birth was registered in Q4 1888 at Lewisham (1d/1149). But I've been unable to trace a marriage to 'Saunders', or any death of a 'Saunders' which might have been Millicent's husband.
      If Millicent's father was John MANLEY, he could be the man whose death was registered at Croydon in Q1 1891.

      1921 census: at 41, Shakespeare Avenue, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, Wales, Albert Edward Minter (26y 11m, D [crossed through] single*, born Brightlingsea, Essex, dock labourer at Milford Haven docks with P Hancock & Sons, ship repairers), boarding with Mary ROBERTS, a widow, and her two children.
      * the significance of the 'D' is unknown - could the enumerator have started to write 'Divorced'?
