Well as far as I can see there is no death on The BMD records between 1912 and 1917 - I checked all quarters and there is no Charles Denton that fits.

Given the dates, I've got a gut feeling that he died in WW1. I'm not sure if all the deaths are on line or if there are still some that haven't been recorded.

Agh thankyou for searching Jan - you are right about the timeline - there must be some WW1 deaths that haven't been recorded or put online I really didn't want to think the worst of my great grandmother :)
