Many thanks again for all the help

I have checked in the Times, The Guardian and the Observer but there are no reports about the death.

I can't get into the London Gazette for some strange reason - perhaps someone else can have a look there?

Thanks Jonesey - I just noticed after I had posted that that you had already found him in the military at that time. My internet connection has been playing up and I need to keep rebooting! I think I'll give up next time it does as it is driving me crazy.

This may be Sarah in 1891 - but you need to buy her marriage certificate to confirm her father's name and occupation.

Sorry Jonesey - I have deleted the other thread. Wanted to get as much info as I could as I seemed to have come up against a brick wall and was just going round in circles. Didn't stop to think that it wouldnt be a good idea.

Apologies to everyone concerned for having two threads out at the same time.

Many thanks to those that have replied. I now have some new info that I hadnt managed to find out myself.

His death certificate will give you a date of death and you will then be able to check if the death had been reported in the local newspapers.

Rootgatherer

Any information at all would be helpful, have managed to get some family names and dates of birthas this is my grandmothers family but would love to find out more about Charles Sneyds death.

Many thanks Kim

The surname hasn't come up on the Trying to Find Board.

Can you say what information you are looking for please? Do you mean what happen to his wife and children?
