I've been looking for 30 years for my great uncle (brother to my grandfather). I have his b. and d. certificates showing he was born in Budbrooke, Warwickshire, and died in Barry, South Wales. I recently found he rented property in Llantwit Major, near Barry, worked as a chef, buried in Barry's Cemetary in a pauper's grave. However, I'd love to find out why and when he left Warwickshire (he appears in Electoral Rolls till 1930), and where he was between 1930 and 1972. No marriages seem to exist.

Who was the informant on his death certificate?

Did your grandfather or your parents ever mention him?

Unlikely to find a reason why he moved - have you done any local searches of ER's?

Hi, thanks for replying. Informant on death certificate was doctor at Sully Hospital, near Barry, which is where he died.
I have met him, when I was about 12 years old.
Not done any ER research for Llantwit Major, but if he only moved to that area later than 1930 ish, I don't know where he was before that.
