Would appreciate a little help please.

I know this man died 1901-1906. But for the life of me I cannot see his death on the indexes! According to the probate record he died in Kington Herefordshire, though his residence was Wolverhampton (going by where the family were 1901 and 1911):

William Maddox Bore YOB 1858

It's probably staring me in the face!

Many thanks.

Just had a look at the actual GRO pages for the march qtr on Ancestry and it is there they just haven't transcribed it or maybe FreeBMD hasn't done it so its not been uplifted to Ancestry

Agree not showing on Ancestry but I put in the name Booth instead with page, place, year, etc then open the image so I could search through the page for Bore! only way I could get it on Ancestry
