Trying to find Henry Wilkinson b1888 Gateshead.

Was single in 1911 Census living with family - 197, Whitehall Road, Gateshead.

I don't know when & where he died, or even if he married.


I thought he might be found on 1939 !

Any thoughts?

Thanks

He doesn't show on the 1939 register

Not showing on CWGC either, so I guess he died between 1911 - 1939.

His birth

Births Jun 1887
WILKINSON Henry Gateshead 10a. 895

It may help to know his actual birthdate as there's several born 1887 and he could have moved anywhere for employment
