Sharon Report 2 Jan 2017 08:40

I am trying to trace what happened to my grand father. Nathaniel James Feast born 1881 in Kent. He married my great grand mother in 1902 and story told is that he disappeared around 1909, never to be heard of since, my great grand mother went on to re marry in 1915. Iv tried everything I can think of to find what happened to him, but have got nowhere.

He's on a lot of trees on Ancestry all of which say that he was declared dead in 1917 because he had been missing for 7 years. So really Daisy should not have remarried in 1915.
