I think you'll find that all the people trying to help look at all of the boards, and you may get complaints about duplication

The best way forward would probably be to purchase the death cert for details of the informant.

Name: Thomas Robert Gurr
Birth Date: 29 Mar 1920
Date of Registration: Oct 1999
Age at Death: 79
Registration district: Henley
Inferred County: Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire
Register number: 32B
District and Subdistrict: 7011
Entry number: 62

The marriage seems to have produced one child, in 1944

Details of marriage sent by PM

Have you tried Search Trees on this site?

There is one match for Thomas Gurr born 1920.

You could try contacting the tree owner to see if there is a connection.

Researching:
Bagley, Millington, Morrey, Edwards, Sims, Weaver

Local paper obituaries for both deaths may give clues
