Hi everyone. I'm trying to help my friend find information on her father and his fam (he died when she was 2) so she didn't know much. I have managed to find a the marriage of his parents but can't find a death. Any suggestions please?

Where in the world was this?

Where have you looked?

Did your friend's father marry her mother?

Do you want to post the marriage you have found? It will give us a basis on which to work

Without some idea of names, dates and places we can't even offer suggestions.

For starters -

If your friend doesn't mind what name was her birth registered under and a year and area will help

Your friend's birth certificate should show Father's name, occupation and her Mother's maiden name .

If the parents married, then the marriage certificate will give ages, occupations, names of their Fathers etc

What was her Father's full name and when and where did he die?

Please give as much information as you have to help us to help you and your friend.

You can't find George's death because he was still alive in 2014, although he probably died that year, as Irene is alone in 2015 and 2016 on the ER

Wow. Going to make my tea and sit down and read this. I wasn't expecting this, thankyou

Thankyou so much. How did you find the electoral roll? Was there an address? You have been so helpful. Thanjyou again

Yes, Jayne, there is an address, which I will send you privately - check your messages
