Hi

I have just obtained a birth certificate for one of my relatives, however I cannot seem to find a death for him - he was born on the 10 Jan 1902, Kensington and his name is Edwin French, I know he was alive in 1911 as he is on the census but cannot find a death for him after that time.

Any help would be great :-D

Hi Margee

No, no middle name I'm afraid - his birth certificate confirms he was born in the Kensington Infirmary - just trying to see if I can find anything for him possibly there :-)

Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Did he marry?

Have any children?

If he had children then their marriage certs. would show if he was alive at the time they married which would narrow a death date down.
