If John was a seaman he could have died at sea.

the only John I can find on a census with father Samuel seems to have been born in Whitchurch, Shropshire

this is also on a tree on ancestry

incidentally Eleanor Rose was born 1904 not 1905 - birth registered March qtr 1905

Hi,Thank you for your help, I'm not sure where John was born, his father is Samuel. I believe it could be Cheshire area?

Hi Juju can you please tell us where abouts they were born please?

Please could anyone help?
I've been looking for a missing great grandfather named John Buchanan born 1875 married to Annie Diggle Nov 1902. They had my grandmother Eleanor Rose Buchanan (Nellie) Dec 25 1905, thereafter John disappeared. I cannot find any death record for him however six years later in the 1911 census my great grandmother Annie is listed as a widow....
Could this be because she would have rather been considered a widow rather than a divorcee back in the day? Also have checked divorce records of the time nothing there either
Thanks for any help :-)
