Searched everywhere for death of John William Toy who was born in staffordshire 1869. Cannot find any trace. He appears in the 1971 census but no trace of him after that.
Can anyone please help.

Have you got his family in the 1881 census without him?
Thanks

Looks like his father remarried in 1879. Perhaps that's why he left home to live with relatives

To all who replied to my thread many thanks. I have now established the date of death for John William Toy.
I think the fact that he started to use his second name (William) made him difficult for me to find.
Again, many thanks, Ken
