My Great Grandfather Joseph Walton Carr was born in Stockton on Tees in 1879. He married Rica A S May in February 1903 and his wife died in September 1922 also in Stockton on Tees. I know nothing more about my Great Grandfather until his death in Bradford in January 1952. |

Have you got the death cert to see who registered the death? |

Yes I have and it was his son - my Grandfather. |

That's a shame - would have been good if it was a wife! |

Do you have an address for him on the death cert? If so you could check electoral register to see who else was there, going back year by year. Hope you live near Bradford! |

My Grandfather died in 1993. I'm sure I have looked for a will but couldn't find one. |

Out of all those marriages, there's only one in Stockton. I'd start with that one and go from there. |

Thanks Janice, I should have said earlier I have checked this one and it's not him. |

Have you done the electoral registers in Stockton first to see how long he stayed there? |

Janice . . . . no I haven't and I never thought of that! |

Luckily he had a fairly unusual middle name. |

Thanks Gwyn. Whenever I have phoned a register office in the past is that they need to know what church (or Register Office) the ceremony took place in. It would require them to check every church in the area which they won't do. I guess it's different for a death. |
