Any idea where he died Rosie?

Can't find anything in the Notts / Lincs areas

[Rosie Knees]

Right, have just checked the 1911 and he was still alive then. Hadn't realised I'd already paid for the image *tuts*.

Off to see if I can find a likely death for him. His wife's death cert gives her occupation as 'wife of GWKelly' but it doesn't say he was deceased. Not that that means anything!

[Rosie Knees]

Found him! I must never have looked before. September 1922 aged 70 which is spot on. How sad, his daughter Ada would have been heavily pregnant with my dad who was born in the November.

Off to order the cert now.

[Margaret in Burton]

This certainly makes you look where you think you have but obviously haven't doesn't it.

[Rosie Knees]

it sure does Margaret!
