Joanne You say his 'wife' remarried in 1920, if you obtain that marriage certificate it will tell you whether she was a widow or unmarried at the time, which would be a huge clue (if she was widowed) as to when he died! Joan

Have checked this and it appears that he wasn't married to her even though she used his name when registering the birth of their son, when she did marry in 1920 she married under her original name which was Welton. Have even looked for a marriage of Samuel Westwood to Ethel May Welton just to be sure and it doesn't exist. Ethel May it seems has left a trail of lies behind her as nothing she told the family now seems to be true hence our search of Samuel. I even started searching for Samuels sister Nellie Westwood to look for clues but she married a Brown which makes it even harder.

So he could be registered under Young or Westwood then?

No because he didn't use Young after this I think his Mother Florence just used it to register his birth, his naval record is just in the name Westwood. I don't think I'll ever know what happened to him unless ancestry do have the full bmd some time soon which would then be a big help.

Thanks to all who are trying to help in finding Samuel after 1921 and trying to find date of death. Will be trying some of the tips I've been given - determined not to let this beat me
