Percy Wake was related to my husband, I have been unable to find details of his widow May's death, death certificate or where she is buried. I wondered if you can offer any help as it is stated she never remarried and she died in Southampton 1923. I understand the son Charles also went to sea as a baker but again I have not been able to find out much information.

There are no details available online for May Wake (nee Legge) but there are details of a small memorial in Southampton Old Cemetery for Percy Wake himself on Find-a-Grave UK. Perhaps you could try e-mailing one of the site managers on that page.
I am wondering if you have any further information you can offer about Percy Wake and his widow May Alice Wake also their son Charles Benjamin Wake who I understand followed Percy as a breadmaker. Do you have any photos of Percy that you can share? Any information would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you. I have visited the small memorial to Percy Wake in Southampton Old Cemetery, the memorial stone also includes Percy's two children that died very young. Percy's widow I cannot find out what happened to her, only that she received payments from the Titanic relief fund, records are kept at Southampton Archives.
