Have not been able to find a Frederick Dean with father James on either the UK 1851 or 1861 census.

I have also not found a birth registration for a Frederick Dean in Liverpool between 1840 and 1855, though there were 7 in the Manchester area, but none that look likely to be your Frederick

Thanks wivenhoe, great suggestion. Had a search and found 3 deaths for 31 Oct 1918 one of which was Arthur. There were two 1st Battalion SWB soldiers which were Arthur and one other.

On the 4th Nov 1918 there were 5 O/Ranks shown as killed in the war diary but I can only find one from 1st Battalion SWB, but it is possible that the other 4 were from other regiments?

The only other named casualty was a death on the 1st Nov 1918 Lt. F James, but I can't see him on the cemetery list but he is possibly/probably buried in another cemetery (did'nt expect to see how many CWGC war grave cemetery's are in that area!!).

Thanks again for the advice

I am doing a family tree for a friend and following one great uncle who was killed in action and the death date was given as 31 Oct 1918. I have obtained the war diary for the regiment that he was with but have found no deaths for "other ranks" on that day. There was an officer died on the 1 Nov 1918 whilst "holding the line" and then a major offensive on the 4 Nov 1918 with heavy casualties.
The grave yard in which he is buried is within 8KM of the action around the 4 Nov 1918 so I just assume that he was still with his regiment when he died.

Just wondering if the date's of death were always accurate??

Thanks all for the help, I knew rootschat could assist.

I have, since first posting, found the 1900 Danish census for the Wife/mother of the house and her address was more easily found and it was a street called "Ole Suhrs Gade" so (a big assumption!) that this is probably the same address as on the 1870 census?

Thanks all again
