Joseph William Collier DOB is 1905 and his father was Edwin Collier.

He married Ethel Walford in Oct 25 Oct 1926.

She marries again in 1937 to Mr Reginald Ernest Baker of Osgathorpe.

I know J W Collier is not a relative, but its grinding my gears so much that I can't find his death etc.

On his first marriage his profession is listed as "Private". Does this mean he did not want anyone to know, he had private means or he was a private in the army?

I could use a hand with this fellow if you would be so kind.

Private on the marriage cert would mean that he was a Private in the Army.

William Jospeh Collier DOB is 1905 and his father was Edwin Collier.

I know J W Collier is not a relative, but its grinding my gears so much that I can't find his death etc.
