Alfred Wyatt Digby, born 1831, Maldon Essex, son of George Wyatt Digby. Died 1901, Rochford Essex
In the 1861 Census he was listed at 90, Chancery Lane, Liberty of the Rolls, Strand, London as age 29, unmarried, a Stationer Employing 3 Men And 2 Boys, born Maldon, Essex. He married later in 1861 - his wife was just 16, he was 29.
Presumably his Ink Manufacturer description on the RD entry ties in with this period of his life. As a Stationer he would sell Ink, and presumably Ink Wells etc as well.
By the 1871 Census he was listed at 87 Chancery Lane, Liberty of the Rolls, Strand, London as aged 39, married with three children and now employed as a solicitors' articled clerk.
