NotesA birth registration was found for William Thomas Driver: Year of Registration: 1902; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; District: Edmonton; County: Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex; Volume: 3a; Page: 401. (Parents: Alfred Thomas Driver and Clara Kathleen Aldridge, married Islington, North London, on February 9, 1902.)

The family resided in the Wood Green, Hornsey, Islington, London, England, area until the death of Alfred Thomas Driver in 1908. The couple had three children: William Thomas Driver b: June 15, 1902 in Hornsey, North London; Violet Muriel (Crouter) b: 1904; and Rose b: 1907.
