Maddie, there is a Colin born Rotherham as in above post, I think that is more likely to be him.

FMP migration records

CROSSLEY Colin 1896 M 1913 London Australia Adelaide VIEW VIEW

think you may be right Jan, can't see a Hampshire marraige and the next batch start 1935

His mum Alice Mary Crossley (widow)died Dorchester 3/6/1947 probate 7/12/1948 to Ali Legg wife of Fred james Legg £165 1s 7d.
No mention of son Colin.
Ali Crossley (Alice) 1895 ?married Frederick James legg 1916 Dorchester.
Benjamin (Dad) died 1922 can't see a will.

Maryb.

Only the executors are mentioned on the Probate records - for further info, a copy of the Will would have to be purchased.

I think the migration record found by Reggie is well worth considering, as there seems to be no other sign of him.

If he went to Australia this could be him

Colin Crossley who died in Adelaide, Australia in 1918 was an only son and his family were from Dorset.
Can Lauren discount this one as I guess she knows where the family were from?

Edit:
Brummiejan, I have only just seen your post with ddeath details of the parents
This is very possibly the same man after all

Anne, it must be him as the family was in Dorset 1911 and his parents died there.
His father's middle initials were H.F. so I am betting these names were Henry Frederick! And mother was Alice M.
Good research there everybody!
