ARC TBC James Hackett

[PanzerDan]

Hi there, I've hit a brick wall with finding stuff about my Great Grandfather James Hackett. He was born in 1884, and died somewhere between 1919 and 1930. I cant find any record for the time inbetween, in particular his death entry? He served in WW1, but seems to have been one of the 60% who had the records destroyed by the bombing. The sketchy family story is that he died at home through poisoning possibly from gas during the war, and a story that he possibly had a gun carriage funeral through Netherton, Dudley. Ive found stacks about the rest of his family who moved to St Helens, but weirdly not James himself considering he didnt move away. Here is his last census entry...

Mursham, is Mushroom Green. On John Hackett's wedding certificate from 1930, he is marked down as deceased. I have his military number, and medal cards, and the medals themselves, but after that nothing. Can anyone point me anywhere where I can trace him better? Currently attempting to find any possible surviving descendants of his three brothers for any family info.
