According to BDM online 1936 is correct. It would be interesting to see what is on his headstone or see a death certif.
I'm a descendant, gg granddaughter,of William Flower Blatchford and Agnes nee Manson. I am researching relatives buried in St Peters Graveyard Teddington. My Mum married a Gebbie g grandson. Do you have any info to add?
