Thanks Sylann. I have checked but no luck. I believe he was living in Wales but his wife and 3 children were in Birmingham, Warwickshire.
The other factor is it was wartime so lots more deaths. I will perserve but thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks folks. I have tried to search online for newspaper articles without luck.
I work full time so going to have to put this on a back burner.

Thank you for your help

The burial actually gives his abode as 4 York Mansions, Vaughan Street (not Vauxhall)

Just having a quick google it looks like York Mansions were flats at number 25 Vaughan Street.

Yes, Frederick Berry and his death certificate said that he fell of the Great Orme - whilst asleep!

Thank you

I am not sure where to start with this as I am looking for a suspicious death in Llandudno on 25 August 1941.

I am not sure of which newspaper would, if any, report on this.

I have contacted the coroners office and apparently they only keep 1 in 5 and the rest are destroyed. It did not survive.

Any advice would be appreciated.
