hi
this is not an easy one i have been searching for the death details
of my grandfather for what seems an eternity on various sites without any success
so thank you for reading this & thank you for your time
his name was william john cyril RUSSELL born in devon in 1879
he married my grandmother west ham london in 1905
her name was beatrice ethel russell nee evans
she died in 1946 in kent
william died sometime before that his last child was born in 1919
so he died sometime between 1919 & 1946
a lot to trawl i know
when he married in 1905 he was serving with the merchant navy
he was a quartermaster
i have contacted various services websites without success
i believe he died in london/kent areas
thank you
