Sapper Ernest Frederick Gee
159912 Royal Engineers, 131st Field Coy.
Lived at 2 Harling Street

I’m researching my fathers maternal line through his mother Beulah Beatrice WEBSTER (nee GEE) b1913 and have traced details on her father Ernest Frederick GEE b1878 (approx.).

I’m fairly certain that the Ernest Frederick GEE in the table is my great-grandfather as the address quoted at 2 Harling Street is the same as that quoted on the death certificate of his first wife in 1918.
