City of Coventry Roll of Honour has the following:

Born 18th March 1896 London
Resident Coventry
Machinist
Enlisted in 1914

I can see a birth Reg as follows:

Joseph Farron Jun Qtr 1896 Islington RD

This is probably him.

Thanks for the information. I still cannot manage to take the parentage forward even using variations on Farren/Farron etc

Thanks for repairing the link.

Do you have anything further on Joseph's parents beyond the CWGC information of Mr & Mrs Farren?

Thanks

Mel

We still cannot carry this one any further forward.

There is no trace of Joseph in the census of 1901 or 1911 under the surname of Farren or Farron.

Any further leads would be much appreciated.
