Hi
Im looking to see if anyone can help me and find a death record for Charles.
He was born 1895 Rochdale and I have 1901 and 1911 census in Wardleworth, Rochdale with his parents and siblings.
I cannot find a death for him though and wonder if he left the country at some point.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
Christine
