Default Missing relatives.

I have found a marriage for my grandmother's brother Frank Blacker born 1876 Paulton Somerset to Alberta Carter born 1878 Paulton in 1899 Holy Trinity Paulton. I have a likely death for Frank in 1926 Midsummer Norton but I can't find any trace of them after 1899. Frank is with the rest of the family parents Robert and Ann Blacker in 1881 and 1891 and he was a coalminer. I would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes please. I should add this is Somerset.

There is an Alberta Blacker death Oct-Dec 1942 age 63, Norton district - Ancestry says it is Yorkshire but going by the volume number it looks to be down South?

There's a possible WW1 medal index card for Frank - Private in the North Somerset Yeomanry, numbers 1495 and 165592. Can't see any service papers for him on ancestry, though.

Try as I might, I can't find them in 1901 or 1911.

I have just found the full parish record for this Frank gives his abode as Haggs Stirlingshire - so that is where they were hiding.

Miners were quite mobile, even as recently as the 1970s.

So this must be them then. Lots of mines in that area right through to Ayrshire.
