Hi,

Do you have any idea roughly when he might have died? Did he marry?  It means searching the GRO deaths index from 1911 onwards and anything else you know to narrow the dates would help

I can't see a marriage or death for him on freebmd etc, but would need to go through the full GRO index quarter by quarter and that's a long job, which was why I wondered if you could narrow it down a bit

Am just going to look at passenger lists

There are a few possibilities in the passenger lists, but it would help to know the names of his parents or siblings in case they were travelling together

Where was he in 1911, giving his birthplace as Durham, and who was he living with?

The only birth I can see is
Mar 1897  Llanelly    11a   1075
REES    William Victor H

and a possible marriage:
Jun 1934 Bridgend    11a   1591
 REES William V H    to     MILLS  Freda P

edit - need new specs, was looking for Rees not Reece  Embarrassed

William Victor Reece parents were John Reece b c1869 Tunstall and Eliz Jane Badger b June 1873 Stockton Durham, they married  1894 South Shields Durham. The only child i have found for them is William Victor Reece June 1897 Jarrow Durham. Maybe they had other children before him but i havent found any.
Thanks for your interest and help.

The 1911 census image will show how long the parents were married, how many children born and how many died.

He doesn't seem to be on the passenger lists, nor do parents

Do you have the death certs for his parents, that may give a clue also, he might have been the informant on one of them, which would narrow the dates down for his death
