I am trying to track down what happened to my 2 great uncles after the 1901 census I seem to have exhausted any avenues that i was aware of. They lived in Reigate Surry at the time of the census but i cannot find marriages or deaths for either one . Could anyone give me any suggestions as to how i could find more info or who could help me find it. Kind Regards Kim |

A few suggestions: - Electoral rolls - historical phone books (these are on Ancestry now) - passenger lists (if you can't find marriage/death in UK then maybe they emigrated? FindMyPast has lists up to 1909 with more recent dates to come soon) - were they of the right age to have served in WW1? If so, check the CWGC website. How common is the surname? If not too common, then it could be worth contacting anyone of that name in the area. Richard |
