This is my grandfather, he seems to have disappeared after my father was born in 1927. He married my-grandmother in July 1926 then not present from 28. I am new at this and this has been a long time question what happened to him?
There seems to be no death recorded through this system, are there any other routes I could take. He seems to be excluded from his fathers will according to the Whatling Journal! Any help much appreciated. Oh and seems to have liked changing his fore names around to maybe George first!

I don't understand. You say grandmother's name was Annie Allen but all of those births have mother's maiden name Aitken.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Perhaps Annie had been married before?

No, if Ken is David's father the mother's maiden name is Allen. I just think that the other births that were posted is another family.

David, why is the thread marked as answered? I don't see the answer.

Hi the answered one is probably my newness, appologes. Ok the last post is. Correct my dad and the correct spouse Annie Allen. And their wedding 1926 is ok I have the cert. There are a number of names that replicate, my grandfather and his father have the same fore names. His wife's was an Aston Ann Mary. So this must be the other part of the family on the Wirral.
