Morning yappie,
Interesting; think I found he was born "Goteberg" - could this be the same as "Gothenberg" I wonder?
He really is a mystery.
I am researching this chappie for a friend. 1911 census for his wife, states her to be a widow. Maybe he had just left her.
Your find is something for me to work on.

Many thanks.
