Many thanks for this info now I have the name of his wife I can go forward.

I have looked at the marriage of Alfred R Herbert to Grace in 1912. Unfotunatley they are not the people you are looking for as the name on the marriage cert is Alfred Robert Herbert, father's name Robert Herbert.  ???

More research is needed................

Biggleswade March qtr 1956?


Electoral register has an Alfred Richard Herbert at King Street, Potton from 1952, I wonder if he was the Biggleswade death.  It still shows in 1957 but ER's are not totally reliable - no wife

Newspaper reports confirm he died at that address home of his sister Mrs N G Schwarze with whom he was living after his wifes death approx 4 years before. Funeral Bedford Crematorium

Just a bit more info on the newspaper article.

In his younger years he was a Regular in the Royal Scots Fusiliers as a signaller. He was captured in the first Battle of Mons and was a prisoner for the rest of WW1.

A free search on the 1939 has Elizabeth's birth year as 1887.

Yes Alfred was living in Potton in King st.

Can I ask you another favour can you see if you can find Grace death I have just had a look but no joy.
Grace died before 1956 cause Alfred was a widower when he died that year
