The Massey/Dagnall births are in members trees on here - use Search/Search All Member Trees to find and then contact them?

There is an entry on Deceased Online for the 2000 death posted above
https://www.deceasedonline.com/

cremation register summary
last name: Massey
first names : Walter
cremation date : 25 April 2000
authority : Cambridge City Council
location : Cambridge Crematorium (Cambridgeshire)

It would cost £2 to view the full record (not sure what would be on it)

ADDED: Apparently this info may be on the register

The Register Details option shows the detail of a burial or cremation where the detail has been fully transcribed or only exists in digital format.

In addition to the information already shown on the summary page (deceased name, burial date and cemetery), you can expect to see some or all of the following information, depending on how old the record is, how much data has been captured and what masking criteria an individual local authority has requested for their records. Deceased Online applies a quality check to all records to ensure that only those with sufficient detail are available for purchase.

Won't post details on here as they could still be alive, but there are 2 Massey/Dagnall births in Cannock, Staffs in the mid 1940s.

I wonder if this is connected?

He wasn't emigrating, he's classed as tourist.

He was a clerk and his last address was 1 Webb Street, St Helen's.

Possibly travelling with him was a Nancy Dagnall (age 24, a typist) of 20 Rivington Avenue, St Helens.

Hello William, welcome to the boards.

Are you trying to find out what happened to him in later life? If so, have you checked out any possible marriages or deaths for him? His exact date of birth would be a help.
