Hi there

Would anyone know what happened to Walter Crapper b1863 Yorkshire (Great grandfather) I cant find any info after 1891 he was married to Sarah (not sure of her surname) except I think he may have been killed in world war 1 in 1918. Would appreciate any info Many thanks Sandy

A tree on Ancestry has that 1907 death for Walter but their source is the GRO index. I think you need to buy the death certificate to be sure.
