His wife and his parents declare him dead! ..but we do know it might be wrong ,,...so the entry spelling could be wrong

	Depends what his job was,,,,if he died at sea or drowned and no body was recovered then without no formal ID.his death couldnt be registered back then,.....perhaps he just left the family home ?

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9 301 Send Message	Freebmd uses colour strips, not the original material. In 1909 the indexes don't cross reference so unless you have the cert (as you do) there's no way of knowing from the entry. Ozi.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9 301 Send Message	Why are you going to Islington? Don't you have to go to the national Archives at Kew?
Member Since: August 2006 Posts: 10 204 Send Message	KempinaPartyhat	Report	19 Apr 2009 23:16
