1911 census for YateleyIn order to find the correct official record I have uploaded the Yateley Society's own transcription of the entries for Mr & Mrs George Newman. L/Cpl Newman's age declared in his service papers is 45 or 46 whereas in 1911 it was 53, and he had been married 27 years. If he had been married in 1884 then he would have 14 or 15 when he married according to his service papers.
