William Edward Griffin

[mtrplt]

Hi, I am trying to locate William Edward Griffin in 1921 census, born Middlesbrough about 1881, living in Hartlepool 1911
I have him in 1911 as family head but can't find him after that, although I can find mother and brother. (Mary Jane and Christopher Griffin) Grateful for any help,
Thanks, Bill.

It looks like he may have still been in the Military in 1921.

There is a 'Pension' record saying 'transferred to Northern Reg' on 20/1/1922.

Whilst you cannot find him in 1921 do you know when he died, did he ever marry and if so when.

If I am looking at the correct Pension Card - there is an entry saying he was paid 4/6 for his wife - (not sure I am understanding it correctly though) - in addition he had 1 child under 16.

Address on leaving in 1922 seems to be 18, Hill St, Long Hill, W. Hartlepool.

My apologies in advance if I have misunderstood the Pension Card on Fold3.

Believe the address is 15 Hill St. This is the address of his brother Clifford/Wife and children.

Thank you for the replies, I don't know when or if he married , or even when he died. The military may be a possibility, in 1921. I have 3 army numbers, 7514,   8951,   94428. Do any of those tie in?
He was in the Royal Defence Corp half way through and beyond WW1 so may not have been living in Hartlepool, perhaps just using his brother's address as his home address
Regards, Bill.

Why not consider a £3 gro  birth image. This may establish if he was still around in 1939 and even possibly married with children

This I think is almost certainly him, is there an army number on the pension card?
I don't know how the army registered men who were in barracks or whatever but they must have had to do so for the 1921 census surely?
Regards, Bill.

The Regimental number on his Pension card is 94428.

The pension appears to go up to 28/3/1922 on the reverse of this card.
