Harold Edgar De'Ath 1916 England
I am trying to find some information about my husbands family.
His Grandfather Harold Edgar De'Ath was born England May 5 1916.He owned a shop in Watford.
He married Martha Jane "Janet" Fearnehough.
They had one son Peter Robert Thomas DeAth
They immigrated to New Zealand when Peter was in his late teens.
Harolds parents were Thomas William De'ath and Nellie Jenkins.
Apparently Harold worked on the family tree and visited England several times to gain information (going back many generations) Apparently he didn't like what he found and destroyed his research before he died.
He had one brother Leonard Lionel De'ath
I have note the spelling of our surname as accurately as I can as I believe that 5 generation in a row changed the spelling back to Death.
Can anyone help me?
Paula De'Ath
