If he married Harriet in 1913 this would fit in. There is a big difference in age between Alfred and Harriet if it is the one I have posted.

There is a probate which I should get a copy of if it is in fact a will and not a letter of administration

Ive got a date but not sure where from as I don't have a place for her 23/07/1960

Yes, but without some idea of where he might have been at any given time, who knows where he died.

Where when did Harriet die? would that be a clue?

Harriet middle name is Helen and I am not aware that they had any children to be honest. It's a death for Alfred I am seeking. Thanks

OK< so do you know where perhaps any of their children were born or raised?

There are a few (9) listed that do fit your criteria, give or take year or two- and age at death isn't always accurately recorded.

Any middle initial?


Given his age, was this his first marriage

Alfred Bentley b.1855 married Harriet Helen Evans in Stockport 14/06/1913. I have however not been able to locate a death certificate for him. Many thanks

# Edit - for some unknown reason I typed in the wrong surname, appologies
