Notes for William James Best
Free BMD could find no Best-Powys births to c. 1935. - because all their children were born in Australia while he tried to be a farmer.
Apparently he was born on a ship going from Ireland to the USA.
His Death:
Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
Deaths Mar 1953 (96%)
BEST William J 59 Cheltenham 7b 403

If he was born on a ship, then would this be indicated on a census form if he had then returned to England and Wales?
But nothing found using The Genealogist.
