Not found in Staffs in the 1939 Register as Fred, Alfred or Frederick.

By the time of the 1911 census he was known as Frederick.  I can find no marriages in the Cannock area for any of Alfred, Fred or Frederick, thought lots outside that area.

In 1965 an Alfred Keight died in the Cannock district, born in 1896.  This might have been him but it needs a tad more evidence.

An Ancestry family tree agrees that he died then and adds that he had had two wives with one child with each.
__________________________

Searching for all events for a Fred Keight, I did find a marriage in Q1 of 1920 of Frederick Keight to Lily F Knight in Kings Norton, Worcs; he would have been 24 then.

Their marriage certificate is the only was to find if this was him.  or I could wat a few months for the 1921 census to appear and for this to show what his household consisted of.
