Thankyou Austin that is definitely them in 1918. Not sure about Lucy.
He had one son William Charles Crane born about 1899

Oh dear I think there was a bit of a change of partner for Lucy unless William Jenkins was her brother

Marriage:

Registration district: St George Hanover Square
Inferred County: London
Spouse: William E Crane
Volume Number: 1a Page Number: 1058

Strange about his death...if he died in 1965 I was alive then and his son had already died?!

Where did you get the death information from? If he was born in 1874 I don't see his death in 1965

The list of public an s says William Crane 1921 then William Workman and another person 1934.

That is why I am not sure about the 1927 death

I only see William at 42 Johnson Street until 1926 on the electoral registers

Malyon put the death 1965 one on the other thread

Sorry I put 2 threads on

I did that because I thought best dealing with
a) the pub
b) the person

I'm not sure where your other thread is. Did Malyon give an age for the William that died in 1965:

Was it this death? This William was born c1910:

First name(s) WILLIAM E
Last name CRANE
Gender Male
Birth year 1910
Age 55
Death quarter 3
Death year 1965
District Woolwich
County London
Volume 5E Page 786

https://billiongraves.com/grave/William-Edwward-Crane/7651930
Gravestone gives age of 56
-----------------------

The 1927 death is more likely if your William was born in 1874

No it wasn’t that death Austin. Yes the1927 one looks more likely

For reference, this is the other thread:

Thanks AG- so the above gravestone and death is what Malyon posted. So that William was too young to be yours.

I didn't realise about the other thread, I'll leave you to it- I need to get some gardening done

Me too, AQ.
Shouldn't be hunched over the computer on a dry day like this..
