John Naylor married Beatrice Clara Worton in 1916 in Kingston surrey. At some point they moved to Leigh Lancashire and had three children. He died in 1923 and his wife married again to a William Owen Roberts in1926. He is a complete mystery can't find him on any census but don't know where he was born or what year.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Phil

Was she, perhaps, married before and her married name was McEntee?

Do you have the marriage certificate for John Naylor? It would give his age and father's name.

Philip Report 9 Mar 2017 20:07

I have not got the marriage certificate but I think that is my only option
Thanks all for your help

So this looks like his death which narrows down a birth year

Deaths Dec 1923
Naylor John 36. Leigh. 8c. 296

So born c1887

Several though of that name born around that time so you do need the marriage cert for his dads name and occ

So that death ref posted is the correct one

You still need that marriage cert though
