Research

I looked Aaron up on Ancestry and found the following records. The first I'm sure is him, but the second and third might be a different person -

In 1911, he is living in Anfield, Liverpool, with his parents and siblings. His occupation is listed as clerk.

In the 1939 England and Wales Register, his birth date is given as 21 September 1885. He works at an estate agents, lives in Huyton and is married. As well as his wife and himself, two others lived at the same address, their surname being Fleetwood. However, his name is spelt Arran, so I'm not 100% sure this is him.

I found a FindAGrave for him, too - https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/200989716/arthur-frederick-arran?_gl=1*y90wk3*_ga*MTgwNTAzODcxNC4xNjYwODM0OTk1*_ga_4QT8FMEX30*MTY2MzA2NDY3OS4xMjMuMS4xNjYzMDY0OTA2LjAuMC4w. His wife's surname is given as Fleetwood and again, his surname is listed as Arran.
