The plaque gives his first names as Reginald Albert in that order. However, his birth is registered as Albert Reginald. The 1901 census lists him as Albert, whilst in the 1911 census he appears as Reggie.

Site: Albert Reginald Twyford (1 memorial)

SW15, Roehampton High Street, 16

His address in the 1901 census is given as 8 Roehampton High Street, although as can be seen in the photograph, the plaque is located at number 16. Presumably, the street was later renumbered.
