Thank you Greensleeves
You have all been so welcoming and helpful on this Site. I cannot find a likely Marriage for my Sailor but I do believe I have found a Death for him at age only 39. He had a brother, 2 years his senior, who joined The Royal Welsh Fusiliers in Dec 1915 and died only 7 months later at The Battle of the Somme. Family stories said Frederick had perished at sea during WW1 but the National Archives Record show that he was not discharged from The Royal Navy until Apr 1920!
