TRYING TO TRACE MY GRANDFATHER, ALFRED DRIVER, INFORMATION I HAVE IS HE WAS BORN IN 1861 AND HIS FATHER WAS A WARDEN AT A BRITISH PRISON. HE WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE ATTENDED OXFORD UNIV., BUT WHEN REFERRED NAME TO OXFORD THEY SAY NO RECORD OF HIS ATTENDING.
I DID FIND AN ALFRED DRIVER ON FAMILYSEACH.COM CHRISTENING AUG. 25, 1861 AT KINGS STANLEY, GLOUCESTER, FATHER ALSO ALFRED, MOTHER JANE BUT NO FURTHER INFORMATION. MAYBE SOMEONE CAN HELP. HE CAME TO THE USA OR CANADA, DATE UNKNOWN, AND PROOF READ LATIN FOR A
JESUIT PREIST NEWSPAPER, THEN WORKED FOR NY TIMES, THEN HERALD TRIBUNE, WHERE HE MADE UP THE CROSS WORD PUZZLES. LIVED IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK TILL HIS DEATH IN 1944.
