Hi my great grandfather Solomon Robert Smith was born 28/11/1895 in Limehouse in Stepney. I know that he married Isabella Ward on 25/2/1918 again in Stepney. I also know that he was alive on 24/10/1942 when his son (my grandfather) was married. I think he may have lived in Ilford in Essex as that was the address listed on my grandfathers marriage certificate. My father was born in 1947 and can vaguely remember a family trip when he was 5 years old or so to London and has no memories of Solomon so he may then have died between 1942 and 1952.
Although on his birth certificate he was noted as Solomon Robert Smith he is noted as Robert Solomon Smith on his marriage certificate.
I live in Scotland and have no English ancestors alive who can help and wondered if anyone can help.
I know that in 1918 he was listed as a gunner in the RHA but can find no service record and his occupation is listed as a postman in 1942 when his son got married. I also know that Isabella remarried I think to a Leonard Rolfe after Solomon died but do not have a not have any dates.
If anyone can help me with his death I would be most greatful.

PS I hope I have given as much information as I can.
