George was born in 1887, married Winifred Alwood Bunyan in 1912 in Lewisham. He got into financial trouble, left my grandmother, Winnie. She emigrated to Canada. I have checked census, etc. no trace. I think he changed his name. I would like to visit his burial site. I have never seen a picture of him. What can I do to find him?
