Entry in the Register of Deaths for Christopher Ernest W Snelling, born on 6 April 1904, in October-December 1976 in Brent (11 0864).
There is an entry in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Ernest Joseph Snelling born about 1905 in Croydon, Surrey, parents Christopher Thomas Snelling and Harriet Annie Luff. However this does not appear to be correct as the Ernest Joseph Snelling born on 11 February 1905 in South Norwood Surrey was the son of Ernest Joseph Snelling and Annie Elizabeth Richards, and died in Portsmouth in 1980 as stated in several other entries and also in the 1911 census when living in Penge. I cannot find an entry for an Ernest Snelling born about 1905, the 1911 census giving his birth in London.
Christopher Ernest W Joseph Snelling was my half third cousin.
