This would seem to support the second listed death........in view of the father's name.

Reg

I now see that all the death info has been provided already on another thread.........

If you KNOW he ws on the Jervis Bay, there is no query about his wife's first name.........

Reg

I had noticed that! Do you no when and where he might of married?

Sorry folks this is what i was trying to find out was the marriage details place and date so i can find her maiden name
Thanks Alyson

nudge

Have you got a copy of his Naval seaman's record from the National Archive website?

Description Name Baldwin, John Thomas
Official Number: J40688
Place of Birth: East Battersea, London

Date 22 February 1898

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=7158633&queryType=1&resultcount=1
His record may give some indication of when he married, otherwise it's a slow trawl through all the GRO indexes from 1916- 1940

Hi Pete i am not very good with all this sorry i know he was born on the 15/04/1898 and died in nov 1940 so he would have been 20 when he got married i suppose he was born in Battersea london if that is any help
