Hello all Rootschatters,
I am just doing a little research regarding Henry H Follis mmn Mills who was born in Stroud registration district in 1916.
His occupation was a Clerk in Holy Orders.
I have him listed on 1939 registered living with a McLeod family.
I haven't been able to locate a death , I am presuming he has passed away by now.
Would love a photograph or any info on any diocese parishes he may have been connected with.
Many thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
Warmest regards....Helen.

If you can’t find a UK death then perhaps he travelled abroad

Do you know what his middle H stood for?
There is a Henry Horatio Follis who died Aberconwy district in 1984.
Birth date 3 Dec 1916
One to check out

Hi if you think he was a Church of England Vicar, then he would be listed in Crockfords Clerical Directory. Unfortunately the ones online probably don’t cover the years you might be looking for, so you’d have to find a library that has an edition that covers the years he might have been serving.
There are some entries about him and his ministry in newspapers if you have a sub to either British Newspapers or FindMyPast. One in particular says his middle name was Horatio as Millipede indicated.

His birth was registered in the Dec quarter of 1916 so that does fit with the death but still tenuous.

Possibly him?
