Hi Teulu,

Thanks for that - I've not used those websites before & found them really useful.

Walter James Eccott was my great grandfather. I just came across this thread and was quite surprised to see this topic!.

Dear deccott, if Walter James Eccott is your great grandfather, then you probably know, if he wrote novels:"The Mercenary", "The Red Neighbour" and others, and when did he die?

Death of Walter J Eccott, 84 was registered in Bromley in the June quarter of 1946. Details on FreeBMD https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl .

Walter Yardley Eccott, Major RAMC, died on 2 July 1940. Death registered in Camberwell, September quarter of 19430. Funeral at Orpington.

Margaret Annie Eccott died on 9 March 1938 in Orpington. Death registered at Bromley, March quarter 1938. Funeral at Orpington.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
