Trying to find the death of Felix Bourne b.1887 according to marriage cert - he married Zepherina cumberbatch in Barrow in 1913. He was a mariner merchant service when he married and his father was James a cabinet maker.

There is no birth around 1887 on freebmd and no 1891/1901 census that matches his profile

No death that matches an 1887 birthyear either - did he perhaps die at sea

Thanks for looking - i have been and purchased credits to look at 1911c and believe this must be the correct Felix Bourne, as i had been unable to find anyone else who matched. Felix's wife Zepherina's Father was from Barbados also, so this would match things up a bit. Today i have been looking for the graves of Zepherina and Felix - Zepherina was buried in the same grave as someone else entirely and her records show she was a widow when buried so i would assume that Felix must have died abroad or at sea.
 Is there any way of finding this out does anyone know?
