Hoping someone can help.
I’m trying to confirm that the Henry Plough who died Mar Quart 1927 in Staines was the husband of my Grandfathers cousin, Helen Bruce Plough nee Howie.
Henry was a Master Mariner born in Northumberland 1865/66, they married in Glasgow and both their sons were born there. I think Helen may have travelled with Henry quite frequently and have the feeling that their base was in England. No sign of either in Scotland after birth second son, until Helen B appears on the Valuation Rolls 1930 for Glasgow as Proprietor, occupier. Helen died 1945 in Glasgow no death recorded in Scotland for Henry.
As I’m only a cousin 2x removed on the Howie side I have never gone beyond noting the 1927 death in Staines as most likely. Now I’m in contact with a Plough Relation and would like to verify this for them.
Thank you for reading this and in advance for any help you can offer

If you got the death certificate it might confirm it for you, especially if Helen was the informant.

Check out the public trees on Ancestry for Henry Plough/ Herman Ploeg died 1927. There is a link to the uploaded death certificate but I can't get it to open.
