Can anyone help me or give me a Idea of what happened to my Great-Great Grandfather. Richard England Born 1869. Last seen in 1891 Cencus with wife Eliza and daughter Alice. Then 1901 Cencus Eliza was listed as Widow. Their Last Child was Clara 1897 so guess he died 1896 - 1901 but the only Richard listed between these dates and on BMD in his age bracket died in Kensington. Just cant see a Cement Labourer living in Medway area moving to that area. The only conflict at that time was the Second Boer war. Would a man in his 30's of been conscripted at this time. if so how would I find out if he was if not has anybody any idea where he could of gone because he seems to of just vanished off the face of the earth. thanks for any help |

Can you give us the correct year for his birth? You've listed 1896. |

Have you given the wrong birth year for him? You say 1896 but he was married in the 1891 census. |

For reference - I guess this is the family in 1891:- |

There was no conscription before WW1 |

Why have you discounted the death in Kensington? There are lots of reasons why someone may die away from their home - he could have been in London for work, for example. The age at death matches with your Richard's age in 1891: |

The cement industry in Kent ran boats/barges full of the cement up the Thames to London as my friends family owned a cement barge, so it was quite feasible that he worked on these. |

I agree with Julie. I was thinking along the lines of him being involved in delivering cement to where they were building houses etc. He may have had an accident or fallen ill whilst in Kensington. |
