Table 2 Historical demises since my last report in 2019. In the following table I have summarised the demises records for 1648 former students of the RHS. Almost all of these follow my research using Family History sites and other sources to determine whether a former student on the InTouch database is still alive or dead. I have always felt it is important to recognise and remember the passing of those former students even if it was many years ago. These records will be entered on to the database and so complete and “close the file”. These past twelve months I have primarily concentrated on the late-1920s to the mid-1930s. In the next year I will continue investigating former old boys from the years 1936 - 1946 (and beyond if time permits). A full record of all known demised former men and women who attended the RHS will be placed in the Digital Archive and updated each year. At the time of writing we now have death records for 3177.
