Looking at the image - it could be either!

Comparing the initial letters of the names Tunstall and Lavery further down the page - there's no great difference between them.


Is this the person you're thinking about?

William Tatham
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: William Tatham
Death Age: 75
Birth Date: 30 Jan 1921 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Registration Date: Dec 1996
Registration district: Bexley
Inferred County: Greater London
Register Number: A27A
District and Subdistrict: 2201A
Entry Number: 66


The only William Latham registered in 1st quarter 1921 had the middle initial J, and was registered in Stoke on Trent.
~and this is him in 1939:

William J Latham
in the 1939 England and Wales Register
Name: William J Latham
Gender: Male
Marital status: Single
Birth Date: 22 Jan 1921
Residence Year: 1939
Address: 72 Harrowby Rd
Residence Place: Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England
Occupation: General Labourer
Schedule Number: 46
Sub Schedule Number: 2
Enumeration District: ONOO
Registration district: 360/5
Household Members:
Name
William H Latham
William J Latham
Elizabeth Latham


So I think the man in Rugby in 1939 was William Tatham.
