I have a 1918 death cert where the informant was a Henry Fletcher (nephew)
The person that died was a John Horton aged 67.

Henrys address was 69 Litchfield Road, Shorth heath, Staffs.
Reg District Wolverhampton.

Is there a way of finding out who Henry lived with at that address?

Fingers crossed that someone can help me....

The best bet would be to ask for a look up on the electoral rolls, which would show the names of those eligible to vote (not normally females at that time). There may not be one for 1918 due to the Great War, but may be for one 1914, and then 1919.

Not being able to pin point Shorth Heath, try Wolverhampton Library

If they don't hold them, they could possibly point you in the right direction. There may be a charge involved.

Grrrr! Still, at least unless you have already suggested ER's, she can follow up that herself.
