Great Grandfather died in WW1 im starting to think not

[groom]

Would the death cert reveal any clues though as it will only mention who ever the witness was with him at the time ?

Difficult to know. I have a couple who give the address where they died (a hospital) but then say "Usual Address" and give the address where they lived. The GRO still have their £6 online offer, so might be worth getting the certificate to satisfy yourself one way or the other.

William Turner Dec 1910 Newcastle upon Tyne 10b 22 is that the one ?

Wow! Could it be?
Marriage, June 1918 Gateshead 10a 1594
Brown, James - spouse  Coulthard   
Coulthard, Martha - spouse Brown

I think it could.

The medal papers for Jacob show that he died 2nd May 1915 and that his medals were delivered to his widow, MRS BROWN.

Also did you notice that although Jacob died while in the Royal Navy he originally enlisted in the Durham Light Infantry?

Just shows if you stick at it, and especially with so many of us, eventually it can be broken down. Our bills will be in the post. 

If it proves correct, I think you ought to get back to the professional genealogist and tell them!

Whilst everyone is pondering on this here is Martha.
No doubt you can see how she pulled three husbands with that beautiful face.
That's her bottom left as you look at it.
James Brown behind her.
Margaret Turner (nee Bowes) my GM next to her and William Turner my GF behind Margaret.
