Hello Everyone, Finally - I have ordered the death certificate for David Morgan! Those wonderful ladies at Haverfordwest RO found a newspaper article that referred to him as being at a hospital in Brighton when he died in 1918. The GRO reference for his death is in the April / June Qtr which I found misleading at first, but I have come to the conclusion now that they must have just been late in registering his death which occured in the middle of March. So, it's ordered and the mystery I hope has now been resolved. Thank you all for your ideas on how to solve my problem. As ever, this is a wonderful list! Great ideas that just make you think a little 'out of the box' sometimes. Thank you to all of you who responded either on or off list! Much appreciated. Kind regards and best wishes, Sarah in rather wet Northumberland.
