Joan HE died 1918 in Rochdale Lancs Regards BOB

Ann The william aged 21 yrs in 1891 is his son.All theses William,Hannah and Harrietts,blows me away bobby

Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire share a border so the borders could have changed over the years and the death that Joan found could still be the one.

That still doesn't help with where he was in 1901 though.
