Re Alfred Andrew

[Pennines]

The West Yorkshire Electoral Registers 1840-1962 - do initially show Alfred and Olive M Andrew at 11 Village St Harlington, Bamborough, Donacster in the 1940s.

In 1962 an Olive May Andrew is at 11 Doncaster Rd, Harlington -- no Alfred is shown at the same address. Hence they either separated or he had died before the qualifying date for this register (10 October 1961).

I will go back year by year to see when Alfred stops appearing.

OK -- Alfred seems to disappear from the Electoral Register published with a qualifying date of 10 Oct 1960 (shown as the 1961 Electoral Roll) --at the address 11 Village St, Harlington, Barnborough, Doncaster.

Olive May is still present with probable son, Jack.

Alfred was present on the register with a qualifying date of 10 Oct 1958.

So if Alfred died in the Doncaster area it was between October 1958 and October 1960 - on the face of it. Unless he just moved away.

I hope I have got this right and haven't missed something.

If Alfred moved away and back to Hull - then the death found originally by Rosie in Q/E June 1962 in Hull Reg District may be the correct one.

The probate record could be ordered. although this would cost £10 -- and may help prove whether or not it is the correct person.

This can be ordered on line from;

Don't think it's the right one -- an Alfred Andrew who died April 1962 left a probate -- he seems to have lived in Kingston upon Hull (unless the couple had separated.)

He is at the address given on probate register prior to WW2

[Pennines]

Sorry Rosie -- when I posted the section you have quoted about it not being the correct Alfred --- it was before it was realised that he had 'disappeared' from Doncaster sometime around 1960.

I am probably missing something here - but where are you finding Alfred Andrew at the same address on the probate as he was prior to WW2 please?
 
In 1939 he seems to be at 25 Wakefield Ave. Kingston upon Hull

On the Probate record he is shown at 25 Haworth St, Kingston upon Hull.

Did the name of the street get changed or have you found Electoral rolls for Hull prior to WW2?

Hello

If he disappeared in 1960.

How about this one:-

1959, Alfred A ANDREW, aged 64, Registration District Doncaster.

The occupant of 25 Haworth St in 1939 ties in with the 1962 probate address

Hi Mark -- well the Alfred A Andrew you have found is the correct age certainly.

Oddly that death is not coming up on the Civil Reg Index on Ancestry where I had been looking - but I have just checked FreeBMD and it is shown there!

I have not checked backwards for Alfred's birth or looked on census or marriage records -- so it may be that he DID have a middle initial 'A'. It's just not been shown in 1939 or on the Electoral Registers.

Rosie -- I'll look back at what you have said in your reply - thank you.

[rosie99]

The marriage shows him as Alfred Andrew, no middle name/initial.

I looked at the Alfred A. Andrew death yesterday and could not see a possible birth for him, nothing on online newspapers either.  Maybe just an error on the index
