Thanks for all your help in this but have already gone through several websites looking for this info. I have a full family tree but lack the info on his death, it seems to simply not be listed anywhere, I have tried all the name differences I can think of, its not a common name after all.. Any ideas why his death is not listed, have a lot of records been lost, either that or he is the worlds oldest living man?!

thanks and merry Christmas.

Rob

Info on a DC is only as good as an informants knowledge. My Aunts registered my grandfather's death under the name of Harry when in fact he was a Henry.

Similarly, they may not have known his correct dob. For this reason the 1974 Hastings registration as posted by rootgatherer is a good contender.

Yes - registrations do appear to get lost between the local Registry and GRO. In addition, every year there are a number of unidentified bodies registered.

There is a slim chance that he might have moved overseas especially if he had extended family members already living there or if he had a skill in short supply.

If funds permit, I'd be inclined to purchase the 1959 marriage cert and if his father's details match, the 1974 Hastings death cert
