Title: John Smith death Newton 1940 to 1950
Post by: seasider on Friday 27 August 10 21:56 BST (UK)

This is a difficult one as I expected there to be so many, but was surprised to see none that matched.
It's the death of John Smith born 1903 and died between 1940 and 1950 [ so we believe]. The area he lived in was Newton Le Willows, his wifes' death was registered in Newton, but I know if he died in hospital it could have been Warrington, but no matches in Warrington either.

Can anyone help please.

Thanks
Pat

Thanks Carole

I worked out John Smith's birth year from his marriage certificate, he was 22 in 1925.

His father was Henry Smith a sawyer, the address on the marriage certificate was 1 Broad Lane Burtonwood.

John Smith's address at the time of his wife's death in 1940 was 209 Acorn Street, Newton le Willows.

this might help

and if you're looking for a headstone, I'd recommend contacting the people below, as the cemetery is poorly labelled/laid out - it's not like a conventional cemetery listing for some reason!!!

they have a website too
