There will be no online records. If you know the location you could try newspapers maybe?

Have you tried just searching the name in a Google search?
Those dates are recent enough that it might turn up on a 192 search,or similar, which often include names a few years back.

Thanks Gwyn I have tried that and it did come up with the name in 2002 but nothing to tell me if there was an actual death.

Not to worry I will come up with something !

Thank you ICP.
I've been looking for a 2007 death and have searched newspapers at Collingdale without success but now I have another avenue to explore
