Yes, I think typing it out has made me think that for whatever reason John William wanted his and his father's occupations to be a bit grander. And he did resign from the force a few months later.
He's the only one of my Dad's uncles that my Dad didn't know much about - which fits in with him dying young.
Sadly his granddaughter hasn't responded to my letters asking for info, which is a shame.
