Hope you have noted that the Bedminster birth is not relevant

Please also look at your thread on Military Chat

Thank you Erika for all yr info. Yes I do have most of the info you gave me, but I agree Arthur Gardner is very elusive regarding a death. Even a cousin of mine can’t seem to find this record either. Andrea xx

Arthur Tom.........1853 in Bedminster district. MMN Hook

You can’t find deaths on census records

Try the GlosBMD site. Free

Who did he marry?

Where does he give as his birthplace on censuses?

Where have you looked?

Where and when is the last proven sighting of him?

Why can’t I find death record for my great great grandfather Arthur T Gardner b1853, I think he was born in bedminster Bristol.
