Carol, Have you trawled through the Complete Index to UK Deaths on ancestry??? It's a long job 'cos you have to do it quarter by quarter, year by eyar.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

If he were in the Great war you may be able to find a medal card for him on National Archives documents on line. As for the rest of the info - fraid none of us will know unless we are related to him! Have you tried searching in the trees on here? Have you asked every living rellie if they know anything? Failing that, its a trawl through the complete bmd index which you can do free on ancestry. Long old job though.

The problem is Dave does not know of any living relatives! he would particularly like to know what happened to Robert Sidney Bird--he just seems to have dissapeared. And I can't find him either!! :o( Carol
