Arthur William Croft b 30 Jan 1881 Barracks, Roscommon, Athlone, Ireland
« on: Sunday 08 July 18 11:18 BST (UK) »
The above I believe married Mary Mckinnell Morrison 1902 in Malta, he was at Bulford Hut Barracks, Bulford  in 1911 as a married Quarter Master Sergeant. He was the son of Frederick Croft 1855-1921 and was a military gym instructor when Arthur was born; his mother was Eliza Ann Eastwood 1858-1930.
I believe Mary passed away q1 1974 Durham Eastern but can find no record of any children or when Arthur passed away?

His record has survived.  He had an extremely chequered Great War career ending with being busted to Sapper and imprisoned.  His discharge from the army was in August 1919 when he gave his address on discharge as 4 Kingsgate Street Winchester.  No death found yet but perhaps this gives an area?


One child is on his record Arthur Frederick William born York 18 Feb 1906

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

The death entry for 1937 is definitely him. Listing in Probate shows he died 24 June 1937 Edgware, widow Mary McKinnell Croft.
