Search as I might, I can find no death for the above. He may have been a casualty of WW1 but I can find no record. Help. Please. Bob

This probate. Charles was 55 at death, but is described as 'the elder' in the record. If the 1890 birth is his son, suggests that he was still alive.

Thanks very much, you have all come up trumps again. Charles married Elizabeth Grantham in 1883, so the marriage and death in Australia is spot on. Bob
