George died 1902 and Walter was an executor of the will. He was buried in Brompton Cemetery.

Hi,

I have found a birth on FreeBMD which may possibly be of interest -

Arthur A Brett June Qtr 1928 - mothers maiden name Brett - Lambeth District - Reference Vol 1d Page 575 - I cannot see any corresponding entry in the GRO records.

A very long shot but could this be "your Tony"

Unfortunately I don't think it's your Tony.

It was worth a shout! But Alan did say it was a long shot.

I thought we had identified and eliminated the Tony Brett that died in 1987 in Lancashire.  In the absence of any other death that would fit for that year could your grandmother have been coming to the UK for a more pleasurable occasion.  :-\
