Did he actually DIE in England?

Could he have been on holiday somewhere?

One of these winter escapes to warmer weather, maybe

Have you been in touch yet with the people on here you were told about?

Ali Report 7 Jul 2014 16:31

Thank you all again for your time & input with this

He def died in 1984 Essex, his granddaughter took one of her children born dec 1982 & her other child born nov 1983 was in hospital when they went in feb 1984 with gastric flu.....so i'm not sure why its not on the index

the way forward is to order the marriage cert & then should be able to find them on the 1911 census to find the birth of them both

kind regards

alison

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.

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

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.

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

Ricochet

Ricochet Report 5 Jul 2014 10:56

No second name given when he married

Marriages Mar 1931 (>99%)
Seago Victor Smith Fulham 1a 560 Scan available - click to view
Smith Doris M Seago Fulham 1a 560

nor on his possible death which I posted above.

Ali

Get the marriage cert if you want facts

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

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

Penny Report 4 Jul 2014 22:35
