Help finding a death

[JayG]

Looking for the death of Richard Readman, sometimes Redman born 1889 in Co Durham.

In 1911 he was living in Wetherby, Yorkshire.

I think he died before 1933 as he isn't named in the distribution of his brother's estate (this was divided between his full blood aunts & cousins as he died intestate).

Thanks

That looks like a long trawl until the Ancestry deaths transcriptions come online - or until the Yorks BMD site has Wetherby covered after 1901.

In fact, FreeBMD has a great deal covering the period you're after - if you check the coverage page.

From FreeBMD, looking for Richard RE*DMAN, from 1911 onwards:

1915 q4 Reedman Richard 26 Abingdon 2c 387

This is the only one I could see, so far, with the right kind of age against the year.

No probs Elaine, I thought it was him too, then I remembered there was another Readman family in the area that isn't connected to mine :F
