Find Ancestors

Trying to locate Alfred Henry Sewell b Birmingham 12.11.1872 on 1901&1911 census. Have him in 91 & 81 but can´t locate him after that. As far as I know he never left Birmingham /Aston. Was married to "Millie" who I think was actually Amelia.
Please can anyone locate him for me. He´s driving me mad.

When did he marry cos i can't even find that

When was he married?

Is this his death?

Name: Alfred H Sewell
Death Registration Month/Year: 1931
Age at death (estimated): 59
Registration district: Birmingham North
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Volume: 6d
Page: 491

If so his widow was Violet Gladys Sewell and they lived at 2 back of 14 Branston St, Hockley, Birmingham.

Hi.
He married Amelia Collins in 1902 so would have been single in 1901, but with her in 1911.

hi Jonesy
Yes thats him. He died a year after his 2nd marriage. Is there a moral in that?

Not according to the GRO....................!!

Hi Flick.
Don´t know where I got that from because I can´t find it now.
probably another senior moment. but I know I got it from somewhere.
Sorry.

Hi Flick.
Thanks for that. Had seen Alfred & Ethel but pretty sure it´s not him. That one is too old & the occupation is wrong. Alf was an electro plater.

Can't see him in either of the censuses.........could he possibly have been in the Boer war? Would explain 1901, at least.............

I'm assuming you have the 1931 marriage cert - and that it refers to him as being widowed (or divorced)?

Trying from another angle....looked for Amelia Sewell in 1911 in Warks.

Only one of approx age.....married to John Harry

The only Millie was aged about 3..........

Have you any idea when (Ellen) Amelia / Millie died?

perhaps her place of death or death cert will give us a clue.

Thank you all so much for looking.
Tess, I have no idea when Millie died. Uncle Alf died before I was born but I remember Aunt Violet very well. They had been married less than a year when he died & Violet re married & adopted a daughter with her 2nd husband.
Alf was well known for being a bit of a "character", but can´t understand why I can´t find him, having tried all the usual trick such as first name only etc.
The surname is often mis spelled or mis transcribed. I searched for ages to find two of Alf´s sisters in 1911 & by accident, someone else located them transcribed as Summers.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Hi Marion, have checked 1932 and 1933 to see if I could find a will for him, but wasn't one listed at Birmingham ref. Library.

Also checked on the elec roll at his sister, Flora's address, in the hopen that he might be with her, or living in the same street. No luck there either.

Will there be an address on his death cert.? I can try to check that out on elec. reg. if you have got one.
