JOHN HENRY SMITH

[gbuttery]

Thank you for all your help. I  can now rule out this death certificate, i have.
As you say, my great grandfather would probably be listed as simply John Smith on records, which doesn't make things easy!!
My father was born in 1923 in Hull and remembers his grandfather as having a house with big dark things hanging up that smelt strange and that he talked funny.  (He ran his saddlery trade from his home address and came from west Yorkshire! !)
Clearly, the recollections of a young boy, but that means he was around in the 1920s, maybe 1930s. I just was hoping I could find some mention of him after 1916.
I'll  keep looking!

Possibilities perhaps??

In 1911 he was living in the  Sculcoates  RD.  I did a search using birth year 1850 +- 2yrs and there are only 2 possible deaths in his age range - assuming he remained living in that RD

1849-1929 and 1849-1933

There is one in Hull 1851-1923
