Yes, we have this from the newspaper. And the previous article where he advertised for a housekeeper and companion - hence the marriage!


So, is the death George W Johnson born abt 1881 and died 1960, Bradford.
That is the only one I can see.


I don't know of this will be helpful there's this newspaper article gives his middle name as Frederick  :-\
George and Ethel are at that address in 1939, George Johnson bn 1881 has initial 'W' for middle name  ???
