By manipulating the SP website, without using credits, there would appear to be only 1 Richard Edwards born within a time frame that would make him of an age to serve in WW1 and who died 1980-1990.

The death is 1984 showing a birth year of 1898 and is in Kilmarnock RD, Ayrshire and is too recent for the certificate to be seen online.

30 credits on SP would cost you £7
1 credit would show you a list of results - (you could widen the time frame for example and see what other results come up) - and show the GRO record number you would need to order the certificate which would cost £12

If he died in Scotland, you can order the DC through
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/welcome.aspx
That would name all living children as known by the informant

Unfortunately, its a pay-to-view site, so without additional details it would be difficult to order the correct one. If you are not a near relative, you may not want the expense.

Other Scottish records (BMD etc & 1911 census) are held on the same site.
Transcriptions of earlier census can be accessed on GR, Ancestry and Findmypast.

Hi there John - you can look for connections yourself by using the "Search" facility - top right hand corner of this page to see if Richard appears in any trees on this site - if you strike lucky you can contact the tree owner through the site

I am looking for information on a Richard Edwards from Kilmarnock Scotland. He died around 1987. I have photographs of him and relations which I would gladly hand over. I know he has English connections and was based at an Air Ship Station in Cornwall during the first World War.

I have further information which I will gladly pass on if any connection is made.
