  • Missing in 1939

    could somebody do me a favour ,and see if they can find this man in 1939, he died in the March quarter of 1940 in Brentford Middlesex

    William John Knight born 1857 would be a widower he was a Plumber on his death reg it just says William Knight.

    and if possible his daughter who did not marry and may not be with him

    Muriel Doris Knight born April quarter 1897 Edmonton

    Thanks

    Sorry, I can't see either of them.

    There is a Muriel D Knight with birth year 1898 ..... but she's not yours, as she is married to Percy Knight.

        I too haven't been able to find anything... sorry.
        I am sure it isn't related but I am just throwing it out there. There is a Doris M Knight b. 1895 but no further date of birth. This is listed under Coulsdon and Purley UD. This lady is obviously in an instution, and is listed as incapacitated. I just wonder if there is a possibility she may be your lady.
        I know it's way out there, but searching for any other clues for William, I found a William John Knight in the Workhouse admissions who was sent on to I believe Hanwell Asylum, I don't know whether this belongs to your William but it just made me think laterally.
        As I say I may be well off the mark, but we all know middle names can become the known name and of course once institutionalised age can become lost.

                Have you discounted some of the other possible deaths Val? For instance this one -

                    There is a death whose age would fit of a Martha Wright on the Isle of Wight.
                    Martha Knight - Birth Date: abt 1860 - Date of Registration: Mar 1940 - Age at Death:80 - Registration district:Isle of Wight - County: Hampshire - Volume: 2b Page: 2310
