where have you found death info as I have been unable to find a death index in 1984

Penny Report 4 Jul 2014 22:35

Step 1. Marriage certificate.

determine his age in 1931 and who he names as his father his father's occupation.

Working back find his birth cert.
Check father's name is the same.

If father was born before 1911 look for him on 1911 census.



repeat to ensure that you follow the correct Doris Smith

No second name given when he married

nor on his possible death which I posted above.

Get the marriage cert if you want facts

His birth does not appear to have been registered as Victor Seago in England or Wales

Ricochet

Ricochet Report 5 Jul 2014 10:59

His death cert should have his POB on it, but that's only as accurate as the info known by the person registering it

Have you contacted either of the 2 people who have him in their trees on here (one of them could be one of those sons)?

Added:
Possibly a different Dennis, but could still be related.

well there isn't a death index for 1984??
interesting the only Victor in electoral roll on Ancestry in Fulham is listed with a Edith Seago

patchem

patchem Report 6 Jul 2014 00:03

Did his granddaughter say where he died, or where the funeral was held, as we cannot see a death for him in 1984?

Thanks

Ricochet posted a death in 1979 - was it wrong, as nothing obvious for 1984.
