Absolutely right!   Still not thinking straight since the footie!

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Thank you MaxD, Annette7 and ShaunJ for your great help. Incidentally I found the son in the 1939 register living in Rochester, Kent, married but wife not present but I don't know who he married?

The 1937 Easington Co Durham marriage was to Isabella R Leighton.  An Isabella R Croft, married, is living in 1939 in Co Durham with her sister (presumably) Wilhelmina Leighton.

Husband in 1939 is in the army.  1867950 Staff Sergeant Royal Engineers.  Suggests he was a pre war regular soldier.

Possible?

Yes MaxD seems a good bet and there appears to be a child born as well; also a possible marriage in Leeds later to tie in with his passing away?

FreeBMD has a number of Croft/Leighton births post 1937.

Presume you mean re-marriage of Isabella R Croft?  Can't find a sensible marriage at present.

No another marriage for the son in Leeds-he may have divorced Isabella?

Oh the 1953 marriage (to Kathleen Walton) referred to by Annette.  Don't know.  No divorce records at Kew that I can see.  A Isabella Rebecca Croft died Durham May 1995, age is right for the wife of Arthur Frederick William.

Interesting snippet in a newspaper dated 31 Dec 1951 from a firm of solicitors in Leeds inviting Arthur Frederick William Croft, formerly of Chatham (a Royal Engineer) and Gillingham Kent when he "will hear of something to his advantage".

It seems coincidental MaxD that there is a marriage in Leeds where Arthur passed away; maybe the records aren't available for divorces then? Yes the snippet is interesting.
