I have discovered that my grandmother remarried and trying to find the death of her husband but have absolutely no idea when he died. Is there a way that I can find this info out easily without trawling through all of the deaths for each of the quarters for possibly 20 plus year. I am sure you will tell me No but thought I would ask. Thanks as always. Gill

Which husband is it you're looking for - her first or her second? If it was her first, then I would check around the place where they were living - if she was still with him when he died. Post some details and we'll have a look for you and see if we can help at all.

What sort of time are we talking about? Likely dates for his death?

Hi - His name is Henry Colin Knight and he is the second husband of Clara Ellen Woods (maiden name). Her first husband's name was Dyer (my grandfather). Clara died in 1918 and Henry was born c 1879. I believe he was born St Pancras, London. Clara died 1918 in St Pancras but what happened to him I don't know after she died. They had a daughter, Dorothy, and again don't know what happened to her and have just sent for her birth certificate. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Regards Gill

Forgot to mention that I have absolutely no idea of his date of death so hence the difficulties I am facing. Thanks
