If he wandered off, there's Charles William Squires, died March qtr 1939, Surrey North Eastern, age 63.
Buried 6 March 1939 at Richmond Cemetery, section 1, grave 7295, with unrelated people. Don't think it's a female, as per Richmond's burial registers search!
That one is not Charles William Squire, born Mortlake in 1875, who died in Berkshire in 1936.

That looks to be the best bet, although there are other candidates, mainly due to age. My Charles William would have been 63 yrs and 8 months in March 1939.

Not that it helps much but his date of birth was 26th July 1875.

Mm...I've seen that in the birth register, but I have his birth cert which says 22nd.

On the 1939 Register Frances Maud is married and on her death is listed as a widow.

Oh! You star! 

Yes, all the details fit for Maude's family. The only thing is that I do not know whether the couple had split up (she was living with her children in Liverpool by 1932, including one of her step-children in 1934) or whether Charles William had already died and she had moved home to Liverpool. Whatever the case, I now know he had died by 1944.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

My great-grandfather is driving me mad. I've been trying to track down his death but without success.

I've looked on Ancestry, FindMyPast, Family Search and Free BMD, but not a trace.

Would anyone be able to help me out?

Charles William Squires (apparently he went by William)
b. West Derby 1875

He was living in Barry in the 1921 census at 23, Commercial Road, Barry and is in the electoral register at the same address until 1929.

His second wife Frances Maud died in Liverpool in around 1944 where she had moved with her children after the pair appear to have split up. I have a feeling he died around 1946.

Any clues gratefully accepted.

Yes  it looks like a row, doesn't it?
