i dont need a death cert would just like to know where he ended up,some one said he remarried in 1930 so must have been using his own name then

hi the bear again but did anyone find a death record for benjamin skidmore born 1881 in dudley england,i have tried but just seem to draw a blank.

thanks daianel florence was my mother,they were brought back to england and adopted by jack and annie ramsden of holmfirth dont know much more than that

yes he could have died in the uk or canada or the us he seems to have moved around a fair bit.

hi the spouses fathers name was firth hobson

hi dennis we think he could have re married a margret perrett in 1930 would this show as next of kin? there must be a record of his death somewhere in the world.
