Jean, yes I know you said you had the 1911 but I post it for researcher's reference.

Can you give us an idea of your connection to him? (Any clues would help us!)

He would have been my Gt uncle all i know is what is on the 1911 census. He had a sister Harriet who married a John podmore and they were my Grandparents theywhere my fathers parents, but could not have had any help there as they died when my father was a child. I have had no luck with it myself but thank you for trying.

Was just about to post the same death that Londonbelle posted above. It would be worth getting the death certificate to see who the informant was.

Is this his marriage to Elizabeth?

Does her maiden name fit with what you know about the son?

The cert will name his father......if known
