Sidney Carroll Dalton ^{3 4 5 6}

   Another name for Sidney was Joseph Sydney Carroll Dalton.¹²

  General Notes:

We have a letter from "L. Coulby" to "Miss Dalton" which states, in part: "We used to see a great deal of Sidney Dalton, Albert's son, the musician, but since the war have heard nothing of him!"

  Things to check:

His birth date is given variously as 1884, 1885 and 1886. We've chosen the 1884 date from his passport application as it is a sworn and notarized document. ¹⁵
