I wanted to tidy up my records and add some death dates for people who were missing them. It was a good idea but I am struggling.
As an example take John Davenport/Devonport born 16 Feb 1895 in Salford, baptised in Cheetwood as John Willie Davenport, and his wife Alice formerly Williams. They were married 24 Feb 1927 in Cheetham and in the 1939 register they are in Sale. John was a fitters apprentice in 1911, a draper in 1927 and a market draper in 1939. (Alice is inconsistant with her age but I think she was probably the one born Cradley, Worcestershire in 1900, daughter of Samuel and Eliza.) John and Alice don't appear to have had any children.
John's father died in 1911 and did not leave a will. His mother might have died in 1913, but there are other possibilities. His younger brothers can't even be located in 1939 as their baptisms didn't helpfully record the date of birth. ( You can't go buying certificates for everybody!)
There don't seem to be electoral registers for the Cheshire/Greater Manchester boundary area online for 1940s or 50s. There don't appear to be any likely deaths in the Sale area for John or Alice, so they probably moved on, but I can't tell where or when. What am I missing/forgetting? Is there any other way of picking them up after the war so that I have some clue to which of the possible deaths they might be?

This picture is probably from the late 1930's, possibly within a daytrip's distance of Altrincham. Does anyone recognise it? The row of gorgeous gates appear to face outwards round the clock tower complex rather than something behind the photographer. The main building could be a church but the clock tower may not be part of the same building. The ladies in this thread https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=851972.0 were unfortunately photographed in front of the plainish gates at the right hand part of the fence.

Those are helpful suggestions. Thank you. I had thought the middle lady had a look of Ethel's sister in law, but it seems to be clearly too late to be her. I am not sure it could be as late as wartime when they would probably be unlikely to have been a long way from home? Could it be as late as post-war?

The fancy fence behind them has a very distinctive building beyond it, which I know is not near where she lived. Since I have no idea which bit of Britain it is in I presume this board is the best place to query it? (I need to condense the picture first!)

Hello Sarah

Thanks for the tip. I will do that.
