-
Name Winifred Marian MALLETT [1, 2, 3] Birth Dec 1897 Lambeth, London, England [1, 2, 4]
Gender Female Census 1901 83 South Lambeth Road, Lambeth, London, England [4]
- Margaret appears to be living in the same house as her widowed mother, thoufgh the two families were enumerated separately.
Archibald does not show up in the 1901 census in the UK, probably because he had recently enlisted in the British Army and was preparing to sail to South Africa when the census was conducted. Nellie was with her grandparents in Cornwall, listed as "Eloner".
Military Service Between 2 Mar 1901 and 4 Nov 1901 South Africa [5]
- Archibald served very briefly (248 days to be precise) in the British Army Imperial Yeomanry during the Boer War. He enlisted on March 2, 1901 in London, shipped out to South Africa on April 6, at some point fell off of a horse, developed a hernia, and was shipped back to England on Oct 2. He was officially discharged as medically unfit on November 4. The fall from the horse does not appear to have occurred in battle. His conduct during his service was considered to be "Good".
His attestation papers describe him as being 5 ft 10 in in height, 161 lbs, 39 in chest, with a "fresh" complexion, blue eyes and dark brown hair. When he was discharged some months later he had shrunk in height by 1/2 in, his complexion was now fair, his hair colour had lightened a bit to plain brown, and his eyes had turned grey.
When he signed up his occupation was given as "Joiner", but when he was discharged he was back to being an "Ironmonger".
Census 2 Apr 1911 57 Thorne Road, South Lambeth SW, London, England [6]
- Archibald and Margaret had been married 20 years, with 9 children born and 8 living. The 9th child is unknown. The two oldest girls were working.
