If you have no idea when he died then who's to say he was alive in 1939 under his own or any other name or even in the country. I know it says Olive is married but that may have been to save face,or a genuine she didn't know he was dead, so presumed still alive and therefore married. ??

His death could have been registered wherever by someone who didn't know his full name, age or whatever.

I can see 2 Henry S Stanton deaths b 1884 d 1958 and b 1890 d 1968 but no corresponding births for e.g..

Henry was a joiner in 1911, so could the occupation in 1939 above be some form of joinery...or is that just wishful thinking??
