Thanks all,

Mystery solved - he died in St Pancras in 1942 not in Panama. Many thanks to Tony for spotting that connection - I hadn't thought to try his middle name as the first name.

The Panama lead came from Ancestry where its likely a mis-translation from an online record.

Best,

Have you downloaded the gro digital death cert. If so please share details of what is recorded.

Still a mystery - his mmn on the 1900 birth reg is Harding.  Marriage 1899 shows her surname as Woolger

1911 has a daughter Mary b 1903 - mmn Woolgar plus a dtr Nellie b 1910 - mmn Harding?

There is an 1883 illegitimate birth for Rosina Harding in 1883 which would make her 16 when she married
