Hi, its seems he came back to Liverpool Nov 1917 to 15a Long Acre London, he had tuberculosis in States (Home of Rest Bolton Road Manhattan). You have a good day.

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.

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! )

Again many thanks
