Thanks

Thanks Sarah. I don't live in Bradford, which is where he died. Do you know if there are any online cemetry searches?

Thanks Sheila. No, I didn't check 72/73. I'll try that. the Coroner registered his death.

Hi Tracey, Just a thought but did you check the 1972/73 roll, maybe they had not long moved in when he passed away, also his girlfriend may have stayed on there for a while. Who registered the death have you looked for them. Sheila

Tracey You could post his name and the information you have on the 'trying to find' board, maybe someone can help on there. Victor

Thanks Julie. I'll try, but all I have is their names, so it will be difficult.

Why not try tracing the people at the address and ask if they knew him. It could well be he was staying with friends at the time - might even give you some info regarding wife/partner or the situation even. If however they don't know anything about him - it may be he was living at a house in the street and someone has put the number down incorrectly - or even the street name may be incorrect.

Because there was an inquest, the Coroner registered his death. I doubt they were on the phone. I don't think many peole were back then, but I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I'm trying to trace the family of one of my family members who died in 1971. He was living with his wife/girlfriend and her/their children, but I don't know her name. So I started by getting a copy of his death certificate, which gave me the address he was living at, when he died. Then I checked the electoral roll to see who he was living with. However, the electoral roll for 1969-1971 shows 2 people living there, and neither of them are him. Now what?
