Notes for Gerald Ernest Collard
He is not to be seen in the 1901 or 1911 censuses. I wonder if he died young? - no death up to 1915.
Oct 2007, TFPL: FreeBMD shows this as the only Gerald Collard death between 1880 and 1920 or so:
Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
Deaths Dec 1916 (30%)
Collard Gerald 31 W.Derby 8b 361
But it looks marginally young to be his death.
