Evening Heywood,
My friend Michael has access to fold3 pension records, while I have a subscription to ancestry, British Newspaper Archive, newspapers.com and the Mormon website.
Despite the advantages to these sites, we still lack some online access to local archives. The only newspaper articles I could find so far, was the Hull Daily Mail mentioning him in 1981, and the American papers for 1947 and 1948. So I would agree with you, it’s somewhat unusual not to pick something on him, obituary or military record. We had a similar soldier who had been awarded the Medal of Honor, during the civil war, and who died in Great Yarmouth. But we still cannot find him, despite someone claiming he’s buried in a Catholic cemetery on findagrave when the parish priest informed us that he wasn’t buried in his cemetery.
It’s possible the pension index for 1921 that you mentioned on findmypast, could be our guy. He’s showing also on the Mormon site, if you don’t have access to fold3.
I’ve since found the lack of information at the Sailor’s Home for 1921. It only shows the superintendent and his family. At 39, Belvoir Street for 1921 is John William Forton, who died at sea a month or two later. George Green could have moved in after this date, but not having access to the records I can verify this. He’s not there in 1911.
