My mother would like to visit a place she remembers from childhood her Grandfathers farm. His name is John Bertram Perks he was born in 1878 in Lancashire and died in 1949 in Shipton on Stour.Is there a way of finding out where he lived in the 1930's and 40's;if so how do I go about doing this

There isn't a direct way as far as I know.
Was he living there when he died though I wonder? If you think he might have been, the death cert might help you.

Is it your tree on Ancestry? I see he re-married in Alcester in 1921 to an Alice Riddel Coles Allwood, assuming this info is correct. Do you know what became of Alice?
