I am searching for family of my late Great Uncle David William Argent son of William Suckling and Susan Argent born in Navestock 12th Oct 1895, last known address was 9 Crown Street, Brentwood, Essex in late 1934 when he witnessed his father's death certificate. If you are related to David or knew of him in some way I really would love to hear from you please as he was my paternal Grandfather's brother and I really would love to know about him and possibly see pictures of him if this is possible and I would love to hear from his family as this would be so special. I like many people am tracing my family tree, so any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you, Rosemary

Hi Rosemary

It might help your research if you purchase a copy of David's death certificate for information of who the informant was who registered his death.

The best place to order certificates is online here..........

PricklyHolly,

Thank you for your help and advice, AJA is my late paternal Grandfather and I have all his details and certs including his original death cert that I was given.

My next step I thought like yourself is for me to buy David's death cert and go from there, so once again many thanks...

Hi Jax,

Thank you so much for your help, I too found David Argent marrying Dorothy Clark, but I don't know how to look up an electorial roll, so will see if my hubby knows later!Many thanks for the info you have looked up for me, I did look for births of children on FBMD and found Derek but that's as far as I got as my life is taken up a lot with my elderly father who has been in hospital for the past 6wks and still there today. So you can imagine how very grate ful I am for any help at the moment as David was my Dad's Uncle and Derek was his cousin! I was so sad to read that Derek passed away only a couple of years ago (Gutted to say the least). Once again Thank You so very much for your help, I can't get over the kindness of people out there that have never met me. I wish you much happiness and success both with your tree and your life. With much heartfelt Thanks, Rosemary!
