Hi

Unfortunately that doesn't look to be the death for your Thomas. As his birth was registered as Tom Brown Sept QTR 1873 Wantage the birth date for the chap in the 1939 register of 12th July 1873 is looking like a good fit.!!!

I agree this death is not for the right Thomas.

I disagree that the chap who appears in the 1939 register is a good fit.

We know that Thomas was back in England in 1908, so he should appear in the 1911 census if he was alive. I believe he had died before then, which is why his wife is a widow in 1911 and the children are dispersed.
There is another possible death registration in Dec quarter 1908 in  FARNHAM (Surrey) . Age 35.
This might be him, and worth investigating, as there was a military college in Farnham.

 Hi

Unfortunately I cant seem to find the birth record of Annie Ruth Brown born Raven 1880-1882 in Reading. I only see info in the 1911 Census and her marriage cert. I must admit I am a complete beginner with this fascinating genelogy work! Any suggestions for searching for a birth cert please?
Again big thank you to all the contributors to this thread.
