Elmer's first name on the registration is totally illegible, but certainly is Elmer, though it could be interpreted as a garbled rendering thereof. Somewhere along the line, when the registration was written out, there may have been a problem with handwriting on some form. The date of birth, 17 June, 1870, however, does agree with Elmer's date of birth as shown on his gravestone in Farringdon Burial Ground. |
