Thanks for your help everyone. I've ordered the birth cert and I'll go from there. cheers!

tells you what you should find on an English or Welsh cert

jax

Yeah they do... date and place of birth as well as date and place of death.

I have all my BMDs at work and cant remember if they had birth places on them?

I dont think they do and they range from 1800s - 2009

Hm very true. I'm back to thinking that the fella who died in London is him. I don't know anything else about him.

If he had been in London for 30 years anyone may have thought thats where he was born anyway

You might be right, I didn't think it was him because his birth is listed as London and that was where the other one was born. I guess the only way to solve it is to get his birth certificate and match his birth date to the certificate.

You're driving me nuts!

What else do you know about him and how have you got back to him...start at the begining

:-)

Lol, 1945. My father last saw him around then.He had been in London throughout the war, he was a boiler designer or something so wasn't called up. The other William is coincidental and I really thought it was him until I saw the death certificate. He died of self neglect so I was gutted!

So a doctor is going to know where he was born ? or perhaps he asked him before he died?

This looks like the other in the 1913 births

Name: William P Trowsdale
Birth Date: abt 1913
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1967
Age at Death: 54
Registration district: Wandsworth
Inferred County: London
Volume: 5e
Page: 585

One last question before I slit my wrists.....when was the last anyone heard of William?

It was his doctor, and he was born in london. He is the other one in the 1913 births.

You said in your opening post he is sometimes listed as Trousdale or Tronsdale....where is this as you only have a birth for him

Who registered the death for the one in 1976 please

Could the person who registered it not known where he was born? and where was this person born?

The William that died in 1976 in London isnt him, i have that cert for him and he was born in a different place. William born in stockton in june 1913 is deffo him.

He isn't the William Trousdale who died in London in 1975 or 76,

Can I ask how you know this is not his death?

Only two born 1913

Births Jun 1913 (>99%)
