William James Read

[joycelyn]

William was born in Battersea in 1876, married Mary Jane Hewitt and had 3 children, Richard 1899, Mary 1901 and Frederick 1903. They lived in Lambeth The 1911 census records show that Mary is now a widow but after many searches no record of Williams death has been found! Can anyone help please?

Have you only look at deaths for William James or William J? Its possible that his death may have been recorded as just plain William.

Hi Megan, I was asking this on someone else's behalf and she said she had looked for a long time with no luck. I will take another look on her behalf and see if \I can come up with something...Thanks for your reply

Many thanks Christina, this would be William's eldest son - of much interest to my friend if she hasn't seen this before. |I will pass this on to her.
