There is an Amos J Funnell age 64, Lewisham, Oct Nov Dec Quarter 1931, 1d 1006

Do you think this could be him with John as the middle name?

Hi Diane

That looks interesting ,but the birth cert on George Charles Funnell b 1904 states his father as being John Funnell.I understand that they lived in the Lewisham ,Sydenham area.

The one Keith found is probably right anyway.

a) I'm not familiar with that area so Hailsham might well be near Lewisham for all I know and

b) I've just looked up a birth for Amos and he was registered as Amos Edward not Amos J.

Good luck with your search Chris.

There is a John Fuller death Q2 1928 West Ham age 64, West Ham 4a 92, not sure enough of London geography to say if this is correct.

Paul

Sorry Chris I can't get an address for you. I've never seen such weird writing on an image, the whole thing looks like Arabic, no kidding!!

Goodness knows how anyone managed to transcribe it.
