Patti Report 13 Oct 2011 17:20

He was born in the Isle of Wight 1881, and lived in Cardiff up to 1911.,after which he disappears without a trace. I can find no record of him in marriages or deaths, have tried all emigration records without success. No family records exist, he had two brothers also in Cardiff at that time with family, but no mention is made of him. Does anybody have any knowledge that can help? He is listed as a baker in the latest Census record. He is not shown on WW1 records as far as we know.
