Yes think it's him because Hartley is near Gravesend and area ,where he lived with with wife Rose and family. There was a Barracks in Gravesend at one stage but obviously he must have been working on the land because Hartly is rural

Samuel married Rose Lillian Brigden, yes that's him in 1911. It's mostly about his birth and parents I need, was his father a soldier ?

Appreciate any help please on Samuel Gorvan, I have got his marriage and children but Samuel was born 1883 in India and think his parents are Samuel and Mary Gorvan ,think a possibility they may have originated from Ireland, Kerry or Trelee, other than that unable to find them. Many thanks
