I'm slightly confused by this chap
John Edgar Goulson, birth ref Cardiff, Q1, 1886.
He appears in the 1891 and 1901 census with parents(?) John Goulson and Mary Ann in Leicestershire.
John Goulson married Mary Ann Gilman in 1889 (Grantham district, which could also include part of Leicestershire). That is 3 years after the birth of John Edgar.
Looking at the ww1 pensions on ancestry under the name of Goulson shows a John Goulson born Cardiff but the name John Edgar Goulson is written across the top of the page and the name Thomas Brown is entered in the correct place on the document. His trade is listed as photographer.
He must be illegitimate (registered 1886, parents marriage in 1889) but why the different name?
