Again many thanks

As Maurice was living in St Martin in the Fields in 1911, I wonder if he returned there ?
His parents and siblings were still at the 1911 address in 1921.

Deaths Sep 1918 (>99%)
Davis Maurice 26 St.Martin 1a 477


(A tree on Ancestry has wrongly linked this death to a completely different Maurice Davis, an American, who actually died in France! )
