There are a couple of deaths for a Harry Shaw in Manchester in that timeframe but I can't find one with a middle initial. The ages are out a bit for him too.

I've checked the marriage in 1949 and his name was Harry W. Shaw. They were married in Manchester.

Colette have you checked the Death Index or the FreeBMD Death Index?

I have been trying to find the death of my Grandfather for a long time with no luck. I have asked family members but no one seems to know exactly when he died. I have been told it would of been around 1959-1961 in the Manchester area but I cant find any records. I know he was born 1913 in Stoke on Trent and married Dorothy Furnell in 1949. Any ideas of what to do next?
