Francis Snape born c1874 - help with year of death

[bethanyyd96]

Hi, I'm researching Francis Snape who married Harriet Louisa Chittleburgh 1903 Burton upon Trent (same family as this topic - https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=751089.0)

From his marriage cert he was born about 1875 his father Francis a labourer. I have found a Francis Snape born 1874 in Adlington Lancashire to parents Francis and Alice, father a labourer. I am fairly certain this is who I'm looking for.

However, I cannot find a death record for him. He had three sons with Harriett, two of which were adopted out of the family. Last one being born in 1907. In 1911 census, Harriett states she is a widow and living in Preston Lancashire.

I suspect he died between 1907 and 1911.

Leonard George Snape was their third son and was adopted into a family in Leicester. In 1939 he is with his wife Lydia and someone else called Leslie Edwin Snape born 4 Aug 1924. I find a similar entry for Leslie at another address but date of birth is 3 Apr 1924. I have researched a bit into his parents and it seems that this is the same person and he's been entered twice. I think he is related in some way to my Snape's but I can't quite see the connection.

If anyone can help it'd be appreciated.

What was his occupation on the marriage cert?

A tree on Ancestry has his birth as 1878 & his death as 6.10.1984 Lancs making him 106 years old 

That particular Francis Snape was b 1889

[bethanyyd96]

Francis was contractor labourer and his father was a corporation labourer.
