I wonder if anyone can advise me where to continue my search for a lost relative. My great grandfather Walter Francis Vernon born 1860/2 Brighton, can be seen on the 1891 census. I cannot find any trace of him after that. I've checked deaths but no joy. He seemed to disappear off the face of the earth! He may have gone to America/Canada but I've been unsuccessful in tracing him - Any ideas??? Many thanks
