What happened to Gt-Grand-uncle?

[Colin Rowledge]

His name was William Jory and he was born 1875 in St. Allen, Cornwall.

He married Margaretta Long in 1895 in Redruth, Cornwall and they had 4 children - Clarenda, William John, Percy and Olive. The 1901 census refernce is RG13, Piece 2239, Folio 96, Page 39. I cannot make out his occupation or address from the image on A. and he isn't on FMP where I hoped for a clearer record.

1911 census has Margaretta with Clarenda, William John and Olive - Percy died in 1906 - living at Barracks Row, Reduth as transcribed on FMP but William isn't there. She [Margaretta] confirms they are still married.

In 1916 in Redruth, Margaretta married James E. Gray. I don't have the marriage certificate to confirm her condition and it'll take 2 weeks for me to get it from GRO. Margaretta died in Redruth in 1922 aged 44.

I found a W.W.1 service record for a William Jory but the age is wrong and he has a different spouse. This was on A. and is dated 1915.

I cannot find a death for him either.

Apart from getting the marriage certificate for Margaretta's marriage in 1916, what other suggestions are there?

What about the death

Sep qtr 1914
Redruth district 5c 203

William JORY age 38

which looks very likely to be your man.

Thanks Mark - how did I miss that one?

Can you find him in 1911?

The address looks like Matthews Court, Falmouth Rd. and his occupation looks like 'tin miner'.

Best wishes
