You're in luck - his death was registered with the British Consul so the GRO holds a record.

Use these details to order the certificate from the GRO's online service, using their "Overseas Events" form when that option comes up.

Wow - that was so fast - thank you.

Thank you once again for such help.

I have one last query if you could help: Were there any children of this marriage to Lilian Louise Ehmcke - In particular one Joyce Lilian Sherwood Norris Newman born 27 Oct 1909? And is there any death record for Lilian Louise Norris-Newman. Was it possible to register wills abroad with the British Consulate?

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I saw that forum too - think Keithchr is a recent contributor to it.

I can't see anything promising on wife or daughter after the marriage - sorry.
