I have never actually seen the death cert, his son has it and being an old man with dementia is going to take a while for him to find it! This is now in hand.

So as not to leave you all guessing it seems that Robert was a naughty boy, he married (Catholic) and then strayed (apparently his son was only 3 yrs old & his mum said his father was dead). The address where he lived in Deptford was never bombed and the flats stood intact at the end of WW2. I can only think that if he was living with another woman close by then maybe that place was bombed? either that or he 'pulled a fast one' and lied about his circumstances to the Quakers! He was only 46 yrs old when he died so I wouldn't have thought he would have been seen as elderly although he did have a condition which would have crippled him & eventually killed him!! Could this be the reason for Quakers benevolence? His son has always wanted to visit his dads grave but didn't have a clue how to find it & his mum simply wasn't talking about it!

I want to thank everybody for their help and suggestions & will try to keep you all updated

His family was from the London area...  his wife was on the 1938 electoral register at Giffin Street and I've found him on the 1939 register at Giffin Street Deptford, London. I understand his son remembers when his mum attended the funeral, so I presume he was just visiting or working in Wolverhampton at the time of his death.

New info:  It seems the Quakers had him under their wing (as he was suffering from severe arthritis)
cause of death 1) arthrits 2) thickening of the heart muscle due to arthritis. Heart failure!
Searching for the death cert.

BTW his wife was cremated as was her sons wish.

Giffin Street, Deptford was considered a slum. I have already found the family on the poor house records for short stays on numerous occasions.

Hello Gail,

I have researched your William Angelo (he was my great great grandmother's little brother) and all of Innocenzo's children. They were all born in Carshalton, Surrey.

Innocenzo came to England in 1826 and resided in London, Clerkenwell? until he married his 1st wife Sarah King of Carshalton in 1827.

William Angelo is from Innocenzo's 2nd marriage (to Susan Daniels). After William's marriage to Martha Sarah Ann Cooke in 1870 they moved to Leatherhead. You can find him on the 1871 census living at The High Street (no door number).

I hope this helps.

Hmmm I s'pose you're right

BUT

William & Mary  (yes Mary ann) there were so many and what with all the fibs!!
Unless there are missing records still to be brought out then I'm sure we will all kick ourselves

Another mystery to solve!
