Electoral registers show:
Benjamin and Amy Freeman living at 130 Wickersley Road, Battersea, Wandsworth
From 1918 to 1938.
The registers not showing before 1918.

Others at the house are mainly Edith Newell who is living there with husband and family at 1901 447/84/29

Edith has several children including Emily but not Amy.

Added
Emily is living with her mother and the Freemand on one register so Amy is not her.

Thank you again to everyone who has provided information.

 Despite drawing a blank on a marriage to Amy, I have learnt more about Benjamin’s later years in the last few hours than I ever dreamt possible as it looks like they were the Benjamin and Amy in Shripney in 1939 since they were no longer at the address in Wickersley Road after 1938.

ColC – do you still think that Benjamin’s death could be one of the three you listed in view of this?

Hard to say but the difficulty is no deaths in Sussex, so did they move to get away from the south coast during the war?

Colin
Clarke, Trickett, Orton, Lawless, Norton, Detheridge, Kirby, Goodfellow, Wagstaff, Lowe, etc.

Rosie eliminated the Horsham death in Reply #4, (just in case you were getting desperate and going to start throwing money at death certificates).

Thanks for pointing that out bbart! So that reduces it to two possibilities - years ago I looked, unsuccessfully, for his death in North London (not knowing that he had left the area) so I can discard the possibility that he returned to North London.

1921 census, I think.

Address:   Sunny Bank, Shripney
Residence Place:   Chichester, Sussex, England
Occupation:   Builders Labourer - Retired

Before I go down a rabbit hole with some newspaper items, Shripney is the name of the road, but is Sunny Bank a name of a single house? As in, just Mrs. Giles house?

Edited to add snip from want ads (in the remote possibility it is the Freemans' wanting the caravan)
