Find Ancestors

hi. i am trying to trace a percy horace edward rogers. born 26th sept 1901 at northampton. his parents were Frederick William Rogers and Ada Adalaide Harriett Jackman. married a elizabeth grace massie 5th march 1932. he is in 1901 and 1911 census,
after these events, i can not find him. i am mainly trying to find out when he died.
I have been trying for the last 10 years, on and off to find his death. PLEASE CAN ANYONE SHED ANY LIGHT ON THIS MAN OR HIS DEATH :-(

WHERE was the 1932 marriage?

It certainly isn't on freebmd

If he was born in September 1901, he can't possibly be on the 1901 census

I don't see anything in the post about a re-marriage..........................where does that come from?

Hi Val and welcome to the GR message boards.

There appear to be 3 possible children from his marriage. Have you tried to contact them?

Strange.........no record of any forenames other than the first.

No wonder I couldn't find it...........we've been given the woman's names the wrong way round

Just a guess????

Rogers Percy H 49 Chippenham 7c 321

Too old..................and this is probably the birth which matches that death

ROGERS Percy Herbert Melksham Wiltshire 1900 Apr-May-Jun

Youngest Rogers/Massie child registered in Northants in1941

Val,

If you haven't got the 1952 remarriage certificate then I think that's your first port of call, it should state if she is a widow or a divorcee.

At least one GR member other than you has Percy in his tree........get in touch

EDIT

The man's daughter is also a GR member...........contact her

Welcome to the boards Val.
