The 1901 Census entry took a bit of finding because the enumerator had put ditto marks for the family instead of the family surname. Consequently the whole family is indexed under the name of the family listed above them which was MUNN but they are recorded as living at 31 Elizabeth Road in Tottenham - Jeffrey and his parents and 5 siblings next door to the MUNN family.
By 1911 they had moved down the road to No 26 Elizabeth Road which was then designated as South Tottenham. Jeffrey was with his parents and 4 siblings as one brother had joined the Royal Field Artillery. Jeffrey was a Plumber's Mate.
