I am trying to trace the whereabouts of my Paternal Grandfather William Clague born in Shipley Yorkshire 1874. He moved to the Isle of Man amd enlisted into the Royal Scots 1st of Foot in 1915 he came through WW1 having been transferred to the 10th Scottish Rifles the Cameronians ( poison dwarfs) then appears to have gone back to the Royal Scots. His profession in civvy street was gents hairdressing. He demobbed in 1918/19 and appears to have been in Scotland Edinburgh Kircaldy and Montrose where he signed for his medals. The marriage certificates for three of his children name him as deceased the earliest being 1933. He has obviously died but I cannot trace the deat in Scotland, Isle of Man or England so presume he died between 1922 and1933. Two of the children married were girls but were of age and did not need his permission to marry so no point in telling Fibs on the marriage certificates. Thanks for any Help. Bill Clague. Signed for medals in 1922. |

The only death I have found that nearly fits the picture is a William Clague, but this death was in 1941. |
