Frederick Wilmot Gumley, 1898-?
« on: Tuesday 04 July 17 16:42 BST (UK) »
Gumley was born in Dublin and apparently later lived in Glasnevin, his funeral being held in St Mobhi's Church - but when?
He was a prolific author of fiction and non-fiction, especially for boys, under his own name and F. Wilmot irwin, and was still writing in 1971 when he co-authored  a book on ghosts, and in 1982 articles of childhood memories were published in a magazine (though unknown if original or reissues).

We would love to find his date of death to complete his entry in a bibliography we are researching. Can anyone help us, wither with the date or any suggestions where the information may be found,

Many thanks
John
