Just wish I could find Frederick Albert’s death
SS
All I know (prior to all the subsequent info I have been provided with on here) is he was a widower when he married in Glasgow in 1930 aged 36, and working as a newspaper checker.
No sign of a death in the Scottish records under the name F.A.L.
He did list his father as Ernest Lodge, a hotel proprietor, on his wedding certificate, but someone found elsewhere that his dad was a carman in London.
Maybe he was - in Glasgow parlance - a "chancer" and tried to make himself seem grander to his 18 year old bride than he actually was.
Who knows, maybe some time after this marriage he reinvented himself under another name? (as my 2x great grandfather did to conceal 2 bigamous marriages)
