Francis(Frank) Alston Hole

[martindolton]

My maternal grandfather Francis (Frank) Alston Hole married again in 1937 at Dartford, Kent, and his second wife Nellie (sometimes known as Beatrice) A Hole (maiden name Rose) died in 1961.

In spite of researches in various directions, i.e BMD, I seem totally unable to locate Francis Alston Hole's death.

born in 1871 Milton Dist?

any idea if he died before Nellie ?

If this is your man I can see a death for a Frank HOLE on BMD in Dec 1956, aged 86 in Surrey NE district.

Does this fit? If so there is an entry on the National Probate Calendar giving an address at the time of 1 Church Lane, Wallington, Surrey

To Lostris,

Yes, Francis Alston Hole was born on the 26th September, 1871 at Milton, Sittingbourne, Kent.

I have no idea whether he died before or after Nellie Alston Hole whom he married in 1937 and Nellie's death as mentioned was in 1961.

Is it to Lostris, as I am unable to see another name.

I think without turning up the records that I have the 1956 death certificate on which he was described as a gardener.

I will revert, but my matenal grandfather wa a Stock Jobber.

To Lostris,

I know the exact date and birth of Francis Alston Hole, as I have his birth certificate.

It is his death I am unable to trace.

Sorry Lostgris,

I have thoroughly checked the BMD to the best of my ability and not found Francis (Frank) Austin Hole's death. All I know is that he must have died after 1937 when he remarried.

Regards,

Although great progress has been made with the transcriptions on FreeBMD the coverage charts show that there are still gaps between 1950 and 1969.

Where was Nellie living when she died? Who registered her death? Have you looked for an obituary or death announcement in the local paper?  It may mention if she survived her husband.
