Hi
I think I have tried everything to find the Death of William Roe Wilkinson, and where he might be buried. ( Roe was his mother's maiden name)
He was born in Sheffield 11/05/1845, baptised at St John's Park Sheff 22/07/1848, was married to Hannah Pybus 27/3/1870, but between 1881 -1891 he had left his wife and family, I have searched for his death, but not yet found him.

Please can anyone help or suggest anything,

Many Thanks
