Hi Bruce.

I am not seeing a marriage between an Ernest Borrill and May Scoffield registered in England or Wales in 1912.

I am also not seeing a death registered for a May Borrill in England or Wales in 1930

Perhaps you can tell us when and where Ernest and May were born..........and exactly where these events took place?

:-)

Many thanks everyone. I was not aware that they had been to Canada, and that explains the absence of a GRO reference for the death.

Extremely grateful for all your help.
