	You need to buy his death or marriage certificate. They will tell you his age and therefore you can work out his approximate year of birth. Where was he from? There are loads of William Holmes listed in the deaths for 1960. Who did he marry? Sam x

	Christine there must be 50 William Holmes deaths in 1960, I have already checked :-( Thats why I asked where he was from, to see if it can be narrowed down at all.

	No problem, I just didn't want anyone to waste time looking for a death when I've already tried that. Sam x
