Thank you all for replying, but I still not know the dates they died.

Gins to answer your question, they did not go overseas.

I have to go now, but if anyone like to leave a message how I could find out
the dates of William & Bridget Pitt deaths

I would be gracious received

Destination is Mayfield which is where W Lysaghts opened a steel plant. Many Newport employees moved from Lysaghts Newport to Mayfield around that time.

I wonder if he had already gone out? My great aunt and her family went in 1921
