Died in 1934

Hi Ricochet,
Jeff was in Wickhambrook in the 1891 census living with his mum and dad George and Betsy Wells. My brother has Ancestory and he has put his death date as 1934 in Bury St Edmunds, but I have been looking myself and i can't find him after 1901. I don't know if his registered name was Jeff

Sorry, no luck

Thank you.
