Looking at that report it makes me realise how thorough we are on rootschat, it does not look as though there is anything other than the purchase of the certificate that we could not have found.     

I would be looking to see if you can find him in street directories/electoral registers around the time he 'left'

I'm afraid I have to agree with you. I hope you didn't pay over the odds for that.

Cost quite a bit Jen especially for a poor Geordie lad as I am.
Ive put so much time and effort into finding this man though I thought it was worth a shot.

Don't let it happen again 

Just going back to that 1911 census, I repeat that I don't feel you should necessarily infer that William was still alive from the fact that Martha says the 'present' marriage has lasted 18 years.

I think some of the other contributors to this thread would agree that we have all seen examples where people have completely misinterpreted the meaning of questions on the census forms.

Martha I Turner Gateshead 10a 1813 4th qtr 1930 to a Louis E Bell

Theres the story at the beginning though that my Father and Grandfather were both adamant that he died in WW1
My grandfather even said to my face that he had to go down the mines in order for them to stay in the house as it was mine company owned. However, if this was true it meant he was 12 which is rather unlikely in 1915
