Alan, I believe I have found his army records on Ancestry...he reenlisted for WW1 from an address in Bristol, where he was working as a baker. The records state he was 19years 11 months old at his enlistment in 1894 and that his mother's name was Margaret. On the 1911 census, there is a Thomas (a baker) and an Edith Lily Timms in Bristol with children Edith Laura, Lillian Maud and Edith Rose. Army pension records also indicate that there was an Albert as well. But the census indicates he was born in Brize Norton and she in Bristol (possibly an error). Before I do any more digging, are the names of the children familiar to you? Do you have his father's name from the marriage certificate? Best wishes Kim
