I can't find a death record for Harold Benjamin, any ideas? His wife seems to remarry an Edward Rankin in London in 1951 after living with him in 1939

This seems a possible - Harold & Edith are in Penzance in 1939

Harold Rowe
Death Age    54
Q3 1949
Penzance Vol    7a, p73


Ignore that - wrong Harold,who just happens to also marry an Edith!

Ethel Whatley Rowe (nee Dryden) has moved to London by 1934, when she's on the electoral register in Kensington & Chelsea. No sign of Harold with her. She claims to be single in 1939

Falmouth Packet and Cornwall Advertiser  dated January 14. 1893

Inquests at Falmouth
At the Killgrew Inn Louisa Jane Rowe wife of a gardener said the deceased was born 30th September
At 7 o clock that morning when she awoke she found the child dead on her arm.

This would be Florence Grace Rowe born 1892 death registered 1893

Thanks everyone, so to recap I need the deaths of Charles Henry, the bigamist who was in the USA, William Arthur who went to Canada and Harold Benjamin who disappears.
William Arthur may have married and I suppose Harold may have remarried, (another bigamist?) . I thought Harold would be easy to find with the three Christian names, but I can't find him.
