Year of death

[edit]

The eighth edition of William Garrud's book, which included a "Foreword to Seventh edition" (so from 1949) notes that he had died "since the fifth edition" (1935). I see there is a FreeBMD record of a William H Garrud who died in 1936.("Index entry". FreeBMD. Retrieved 15 November 2021.) I suspect that the original source for his year of death being 1960 was the 1965 interview with Edith Garrud, which was then relied on by later sources in the absence of any other sources.
