Look in 'search trees'.

Karen

Have done, none listed.
I dont list my entire tree on here, and am hoping other people may do the same.
Is a mystery man than I need closure on.

Hello Ethel,
Thank you. That is the correct man.
I have lots of details on him until 1961 when he retires but lose him completly after this point.
Have posted on several occassions for help with have given me lots of ideas to try, but so far lead nowhere unfortunately.

Have you trawled the full bmd index in search of a death?

Karen

Karen Report 8 May 2009 16:02

I have, yes.
Am hoping that I have missed it because I cant seem to find it.
I plan to re-search through it.

I was going to suggest possible emigration, but at 73+, that seems unlikely............

Have you traced his wife through to her death?

Karen

Karen Report 8 May 2009 17:01

I thought about emigration too, but as you said, age doesnt really suggest it, and as far as I am aware, no family abroad.

She died in 1968, she is listed as his wife, not his widow (not conclusive I know), he is not mentioned in her death notice in the paper, nor did he witness her death, or purchase her grave
She is buried alone in a 2 person grave.
