What happened to Herbert George Thomas?

[PatrickBull]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to find out information about my great-uncle Herbert George Thomas, possibly known as Bert, who I can find no record of after 1947.

He was born in Cardiff on the 27th April 1896 and my last record of him is as the informant to his mother's death in June 1947. He is living with his mother at the family home in 11 Acfold Road, Fulham SW6. And he was a Civil Servant.

Family members believe that he was unmarried and probably homosexual but sadly he was not really talked about. Both his sisters' families moved to the Glastonbury area of Somerset so he may have moved there too or possibly have moved in with a man but this is all speculation!

I have looked at passenger records in case he traveled abroad and also marriage indexes if he did end up marrying but I have found no-one that fits. I have purchased a couple of deaths certificates that I thought could possibly be him but I have since disproved. Now I am out of ideas!

Any thoughts?

I know this is a vague post - sorry

Patrick

Hi again the one associated with banking although I have not looked at all the originals worked for the Midland Bank, the Civil Servant to possibly find if him, was the voyage after the death of his mother?

The England & Wales death index after 1969 shows the reported date of birth.

In the electoral roll of 1948,there is a Herbert G Thomas at 16 Acfold Road,Fulham which may well be him.

Are you sure of his date of birth?

It would appear that Herbert George Thomas born Cardiff June 1896 died Cardiff March 1897
