I found a birth for my grandfather's brother Arthur Clifford Baker in 1907 Bristol, but nothing after 1911. He was known as Cliff but no-one in the family seems to know what happened to him or who he married. Rumour has it he took to the roads as a tramp. The only information I have is that one of his children was Frances. Any help with solving this mystery would be appreciated.

Thanks for the above. I did waste money on one marriage so need to find more information. Story has it that his daughter Frances was looked after by her aunt and uncle when she was ill but never found out when this was. Did the death in Bristol show any qtr for the year?
