Frustratingly we have been unable to locate a death for Walter George Brain born 1873 who died between 1897 and 1901 in Bristol Gloucestershire. His widow was Fanny and he may have been known as George. He is not obvious on any local census for St George Bristol in either 1881/1891. The couple married in 1895 and we are waiting a marriage certificate to confirm his father. His son was born in 1898 but wife Fanny was a widow in 1901. Could someone be kind enough to do a probate search? |

Not until we get the marriage certificate. She remarried shortly after 1901 and relocated to Somerset. Nothing is known of Walter George her first husband..its a complete mystery! |

Was wondering about the Boer War, this name came up on Findmypast but subscription has just run out! The initial A could be Archibald the name of his first son. |

Are you sure his son was born in 1898? I can't see a birth in that year for someone called Archibald Brain. |

On the original image of this 1901 the grandson Frederick G's surname appears to be Brain, not Bronin: |

Have you looked on Freebmd for a death for Walter G Brain as there is one in Kingswood but died 1950.. |

Thanks Sue your research is what we already have exhausted. many times over. First son Archibold John Walter Brain was born 1896 died the same year. Second son Frederick was born 1898. As you have shown 1901 shows his mother Fanny Brain as a widow living with parents. She marries Harry Davis in 1906 in Clutton. Troby should be Treby. Have exhausted all the deaths before 1901 for Walter George Brain, so now looking at possibility that he went missing presumed dead? |

Marion, did the details on that 1950 death certificate positively eliminate him as being yours? (Difficult, I know). |

There is a Walter Brain on the 1901 census, born 1873 Bitton. With him is an Eliza Brain |

I think the lad on the 1916 war death was too young, as per CWGC version: |
