There is a John Rensch marriage that would fit:

Name: John Rensch
Spouse: Louisa E Cross
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1920
Registration district: Hackney
Registration county (inferred): Middlesex
Volume Number: 1b
Page Number: 895

but it is more likely this one:

Births Jun 1890
Rensch John Hackney 1b 565


No war death listed at CWGC site.

Looks like it's the tedious search of untranscribed GRO deaths index lists - or wait for FreeBMD/Ancestry to get the transcribing caught up ...

Have you looked for emigration at FindMyPast?

Your guy:

Births Dec 1879
Rensch John Frederick Hackney 1b 584

Full name / accurate DOB can sometimes help.

Thanks guys, The birth is the right one, but the marriage(which i had come across) looks wrong due to age Was baptised in 1882. will try the emigration, as i can't find a marriage or a death. did try war records, found two of his brothers in them

hi Guys
Just to say I have had a phone conversation with a distant relative (Out of blue) and am able to confirm that Jf rensch did not get married and died in his 40s, so i can now narrow my search down,. But thanks for all your help
