You may just have found him. His date of birth was 13/08/1911 so he would have been 37 in December 1948. I can now check further now I have a name for his wife.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

When Percy Jones maried he was a Warrant Officer Class 2. I do not know anything for certain about other family members. There is a chance he settled in Kenya after he left the Army.

Percy Jones did not have a middle name. Unfortunately, on his military service papers his wife's name has been redacted for some reason so I have no further details. I have not tried to look for a newspaper announcement as I cannot be certain where a notice might have been posted.

I am trying to find details of the marriage of Percy Jones in Kenya in 1940 (He was serving in the Army). I cannot find a reference with GRO but I understand it was not compulsory for a UK citizen who married overseas to register the marriage in the UK. Can anyone suggest where I can look to try and find the details?

Thank your for your replies. I ordered a copy of his will but he died intestate so all I received was the letter of administration. I have looked in the local papers for where the accident occurred (Harwich) and North Devon. There is a great deal in the Harwich paper including the report of the coroners court enquiry but in the North Devon paper it just reports his death and there is no mention of a funeral. I will try again for the Umberleigh area but it may be he was cremated which, at that time, would have taken place in South Devon.

I am looking for the burial or cremation record for the above person. He was a serving Army officer who was killed in a motorcycle accident on 20/07/1955 in Harwich, Essex. His family home was in North Devon. Does anyone have any records for either location for 1955 or advise me of the best places to look. I have tried a number of sources for North Devon without success.
