Hello I was wondering if someone would be able to help me find some information on Walter Andrew Gary. All I have so far is that he married Daisy Head in 1917 in East Grinstead. They had a daughter in born in 1921 in Wandsworth Margaret Joyce Gray. I understand that he was in world war one, so interested in any information on that if possible and also when and where he died. I am trying to find out for my boss's mother, Margaret,. Walter Andrew Gray was her father and she never met him and has just started asking questions.
Thank you so much for any help really appreciate it.

I posted a possible in the first reply above yesterday. But it's difficult to be sure that it is the correct one without more information.

I was just wondering if it was possible to have any further help on Walter Andrew Gary.
There is a Walter Andrew Gary on the 1901 census which looks like it is the Walter I am interested in, but the only thing is it says he is in the Navy.
On his marriage certifice of 1917 it says that he was a Private and his place of residence as A.S.C active service.
If anyone can shed any further light on this I would be much appreciated.

But the one I was about to try and check was in 1933 Berkshire so possibly the wrong area

Not sure if she remarried
She was born approximately 1889
I do know that she was widowed, will have to find out if she did remarry.
