Herbert John Belcher bapt. 1892 East Hagbourne - where now??

[ribbo39]

Hi All,

Can anyone please help in finding  what happened to Herbert John Belcher?
He was bapt. in 1892 East Hagbourne to Frederick Belcher & Emma (nee Froude). In 1907 he joined the GWR as a clerk leaving in Sep 1911. He appears in the 1911 census as a boarder in Acton, Middx but I have no idea where he went from there.

There is a 1939 Register entry for a Herbert J Belcher running the "Marquis of Granby"  pubilc house in Lincolnshire which could be him with a wife (Ruth)  & son  but somehow I have my doubts.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any more knowledge or can find more records.
I suppose if I could find marriage for him it might reveal the name of his father.

Any help will be than appreciated.
(Have tried Anc..y, F/Search, FreeReg, FreeBMD no success)

Thanks Kay - I had missed that fact. So it must be him after all.

I'll have to try & find a marriage and with a son  born 1939, I can only presume he married between 1911 & 1939.

It looks as though the maiden name of the mother of the son is WiLLMOTT
But I cannot see a marriage.

see later
