Wilshire

proper brummie kid
Looking to trace Wilshire family members from Clifton Lane Aston Birmingham. Lilian Wilshire married Arthur Collins in 1935, sadly only married 3 months before his death. Looking for missing information on Arthur.
 
Susi,

Arthur H. Collins born 1st Qtr 1911 Aston Vol 6d Page 416
Died aged 24 - 4th Qtr 1935 Birmingham Vol 6d Page 136. No probate entry.
Nothing in British Library Newspaper Archives, but there is a gap in the Birmingham papers online at this time.
Getting the death certificate above will tell you how he died, but I haven't been able to find anything else. He should be on the 1911 Census and he is.
Living at 177 Cotterills Lane, Ward End.
Son of George (a carter in the Public Works Dept) & his wife Sarah Ann.
Sister Edith and brother Frank.

Thank you Maurice I do have all that information and I do know how he died. I will find the information that I am looking for from family descendants if I am fortunate to find any.
 
I have been researching family history for many years now and find that the surname Wilshire is very often a misrepresentation of the name Wiltshire.
Regards Paul Wiltshire.
