Notes for Edward Rupert Sydney Stopford Sackville
The only clear record of his birth is on the 1911 census.  No birth or baptism record found.

No record found for his death.  Was it abroad?  But see below!

He was alive in 1929 when his mother died and he was sworn in as executor.

______________________

In 1942 this marriage was found:

Surname    First name(s)  Spouse      District  Vol  Page
Marriages Jun 1942   (>99%)
Mills      Violet M       Sackville   Coventry   6d  2226
Sackville  Edward S       Mills       Coventry   6d  2226

I suspect the marriage certificate needs ordering to see if he was involved in this.

But a Sackville child with a Mills mother was born in Dec 1945, over three years after his death, so I do thing this marriage was him.
