what newspaper would usually cover deaths in Nottingham there may be a reference to his military service.

Just to add  a few more bits of data to the discussion;

H DEXTER # 78,156 enlisted in the RFC on 01/01/17 -- From a copy of RAF muster roll on Asplin military pages. 

The birth of Marion Nelson S(mith?) DEXTER is indexed on Scotlands People for Leith South, in 1918

Herbert DEXTER lace warehouseman in NTT in 1911, is 35 yo.  Is it likely that he would enlist in the RAF in 1917?  There are two younger Herberts both in LIN in 1911 (Grantham and Louth born 1897 and 1892 respectively) who might be better fits.

G'day everybody  - hope you all had a nice Easter.

I am still looking for Herbert Dexter with no further luck. Was thinking that one day someone would do a tree on the Dexter family and Herbert would feature as he was in the RFC then RAF and as a silk worker thought he may have been involved with those brave people on balloons keeping the subs under water - I watch to much television.

If you come across any more info please keep me in mind

Kind regards

Find MY Past has the record of an H Dexter service number 78165 enlisting on 1/1/1917.
This is from a printed Royal Air Force Muster Roll.

Thanks for that - so that is why i believed his name to be  Herbert Dexter.

 The Birth certificate of our Mum  shows him as Herbert Dexter with his military number and that he was a Lace Worker but Gerry states

 " I believe that this 1911 Census identifies the " Herbert Dexter" who is Marion Dexter's father"

 George Herbert Dexter and then says that George may later have given his occupation a more masculine tweak - from Ladies Mantle Cutter to Lace Maker.

I have asked Gerry how he arrived at this but he has not replied

In just a few hours he has constructed a wonderful story  for which I am thankful but just a little unsure because one of Mum's birth names " Nelson" is missing from all the ancestors that Gerry has detailed.

I have poster my thanks and these questions to Gerry on the site but they keep vanishing

kind regards
