im looking for the birth of gorden leslie barker born app 1920 have search 1920 and 2 years before and after so far am now going through again incase i have missed it.

Morning DD - didn't know you were back !! Nice to see you.

Possibly found his death, gives 1917 for birth. Gordon Leslie Barker Birth Date: 7 Apr 1917 Death Registration Month/Year: Aug 1996 Age at death (estimated): 79 Registration District: Torbay Inferred County: Devon Register Number: B71A Entry number: 93

the 1918 some pages are very blurred and cant see numbers or names as i said i am going through them again. yes i did get that info thanks alot for your help

I dont think that can be death as i believe he died in harwich essex / colchester area he is burried in colchester i believe.

The birth which ties in with that death AMJ 1917 BARKER Gordon L mmn Francis Tendring 4a 1199 Tendring is Essex and includes Harwich

Morning Jools xxx Alexandra, You say you 'believe' he's buried in Colchester ... this doesn't mean he didn't die in Devon ... and have you solid proof he died and was buried in Colchester ? .... rather than 'hearsay'. Elaine ;-)

Alexandra - just because he's buried in Essex does NOT mean he died there. Are you saying the 1917 birth I've just found for you is NOT him??

Yes, I've 'believed' a lot in the past, only to come unstuck ! Keep an open mind on that one, it is on civil registration after all. Didn't see another close enough match to send you. May well turn out to be him. Deb

Hi well i have no solid proof i only know what i have been told he spent his last years living in mistly essex but perhaps he went to stay in devon and died there but i know he definelty lived in mistly in a retirement home. This looks like it can be birth and il try and find out where he died as you say it could be him. Thanks to all. x

Hi just to let all know that death was correct he died in devon while on a bowls holiday he is burried in colchester but died in devon thanks to all x

Love a happy ending !! Elaine ;-)
