death details for my uncle gustave rudolf wolffe -1900-

[borewood]

Hello -can anyone help having exhausted all the usual source channels-my jewish non-observant uncle GRJ was born in Birmingham 1900 and married a Joan Hooper - Chelsea 1936- divorced -then remarried an Ann Wilson in 1947 and electoral register shows Gustave and Anne living in Eaton Place Belgravia London in 1962. Joan Hooper remarried twice1. to Christopher Barker in 1943 and 2. to an Alfred Carritt in 1952- he died in Wokingham in 1961. Apart from Carritt all appear to have London roots. Without my knowledge he might have emigrated in later life of course. Someone might be Wilson/Barker/Hooper /Carritt related -if so please send them my way.

This is from my maternal side. Regards- Anthony Scott- Norman- born Scott

As this is an unusual combination of names (at least to me  ) I wonder if you have discounted the death registration of Gustave Rudolf Wolff in Watford Registration District, 4b, page 810 in June quarter 1972.  Only problem is that a birth date of 18 August 1913 is given

Think that could be the correct Gustav-

13 May 1936 a Gustav R. Wolff (age 22, clerk, of Dansbury House, Kew Gardens, Surrey) and Joan M. Wolff (age 23) departed Southampton on Scharnhorst for Palma De Mallorca, Spain- perhaps their honeymoon.

Added- same Gustav R. Wolff arrived 1933 at Southampton with parents Philip Robert & Marie Therete [Therese?] Angelique Irma Wolff & four siblings.

There's certainly a 1900 birth registration for Gustav R. Wolffe so perhaps there are 2 with the same first name and middle initial 

1901 census- age 1: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XSSG-CLY
1911 census- age 11: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XW28-SFN

Found an online family tree which adds to the above details and confirms what I thought- (I was mistaken about 4 siblings on the passenger list- only 3 but 4th person was a relative travelling with them)-

Gustav Rudolph Wolffe, son of Philip Robert, "b. 18 Aug 1913, m. 1stly (marriage dissolved) Joan Hooper. He m. 2ndly Anne Findlay-Wilson and d. 4 Jun 1972 having had issue: 1 son and 1 dau."
Doesn't say where Gistav was born but the 1900 birth is NOT his although the 2 marriages are.

Thank you very much Aghadowey and Bumble- we have namesakes GRW here -though whether was Gustav or Gustave is debateable.The one with e is more probable as it is French and I have roots in French migration though Alsace is on shifting border in 19th/20th c.
I agree that my uncle commonly known as Ralph was born in Birmingham in 1900- not same one as on Archer tree- so this line is rejected and I know moved with his parents -father Jacob and mother Julia to London (hampstead) by 1911 -so both censuses tally. I now suspect that it was the namesake GRW who married Joan H and Anne Wilson (Findlay-Wilson?) and shall move this stuff off my tree and start again.

Archer tree -thanks but no thanks has nothing to do with me.

cheers
