Hello Everyone,

Thank you all for all your insights....and Boo thank you for the newspaper articles.

To answer some questions:

Yes, son Bruce did marry. In 1903 ! And Walter was obviously alive then.

Daughter May married in 1925 and i have just realised that i don't actually have that marriage
record.I have who she married but no more than that(Blimey i think that detail came from a contact and i strangely didn't follow up on it!) .I will look into getting that - maybe it will help.

I have had a look for Banks but nothing stood out.

I definitely haven't tried Scotland. Way back i did examine other countries but maybe i should look again.

OK i have things to check!
Thank you  again for pointing me in other directions - it is much appreciated!

O.K so i found and ordered his wife's death certificate.
She died in the workhouse infirmary January 1915.
It gives her address at home(3 back of 75 Bracebridge st, Birmingham) and says "wife of Walter Parr, Tailors Presser Journeyman".
The informant was their daughter (of 4 Crompton Avenue, Crompton Road, Handsworth)....

So i am thinking he may have been alive.Possibly...Maybe...
I would like to think that the daughter would have known if her father was dead (or not)- and would have said so ...wouldn't she?

Having said that, I didn't find him in 1911 and still no other deaths that look like him!

And that's all folks!
