On the off chance - a death record for deepest Kent.

John W Cooper
Birth Date: abt 1888
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1963
Age at Death: 75
Registration district: Thanet
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 5b
Page: 806

But as you mention Kent, London that could refer to areas on the London/Kent borders such as Bexley, Woolwich etc.

Hello Elaine and welcome to the boards.

It may be worthwhile putting your grandfather's details into the Search Trees Box above to see if anyone else on this site has him in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner. Cx.
