....believed to have died in Liverpool in the 1950's.

Looking for his death records.... any help would be appreciated.
Also any information on his sister Florence Kelly born 1904 married William george Owen in 1926 no trace after 1931.
I do have a copy of a photograph which could be this brother and sister. Will have to try and remember how to upload a photo????

Thanks

Aaww shucks M.D...
Sorry to read that.
Perhaps Alfred used another surname..to hide from his first family.
I wish you all the best, it's a toughie

Just a thought as he is a serving soldier at marriage and must have joined up as a career as too young for the First World War have you tried searching Army deaths? Also he could have still been serving during Secomd World War. Last thought is depending on who is classed as next of kin to the gentleman what about for his Army papers. However this is only granted to next of kin from their list.
