Individual Details
Harry WILLIAMS
(6 Oct 1887 - 19 Mar 1956)
According to his marriage record (1915), Harry was a leading seaman in the Royal Navy. His address at the time of his marriage was the Sailors' Rest, Fore St., Devonport, Plymouth.
The 1939 Register tells us that Harry was a retired Chief Petty Officer in the Royal Navy. He was working at the time as a skilled electrician's labourer and was living with his family at 251 Victoria Road, St. Budeaux, Plymouth, which was also Harry's address at the time of his death.
Although it appears (from the FreeBMD website) that Harry died in 1956, the Calendar of Wills for 1956 states the following: "WILLIAMS Harry of 251 Victoria-road, St Budeaux, Plymouth, died 19 March 1954. Administration Exeter 23 May [this would be 23 May 1956] to Hannah Williams widow. Effects £352 10s." However, on balance, I think the year of death recorded in the Calendar of Wills incorrect and Harry in fact died in 1956.
