Middy Report 21 Jul 2018 10:54

Hi All

Would anyone be able to assist me, I am trying to find a death record for the following person but cannot find anything:

Henry Edward Victor Evans (DOB on 1939 register was confirmed as 18/9/1922) - was residing in Dagenham, Essex

Any help, gratefully received

Thanks

Have you tried FreeBMD

Only the one Henry E V Evans birth showing in records (until one in 1985)
Q4 Poplar

Probability therefore that a 1955 marriage in Surrey North Eastern is his (on freebmd).

Not seeing a death up to 2007 on commercial sites as Henry E V and no probate record 2007-2018, although not all estates go to probate.

Do you know that he has died?
If his 1939 register entry is open that should indicate he has died but mistakes can happen. Death may be recorded just as Henry if full names unknown to the person registering it.

Not showing post 1955 on Ships Passenger Lists leaving UK, airline records not available.

His wife was born June 1927, and in 1939 was living in Mitcham with parents Harry and Mary and siblings.

I'm not posting the record, as she may still be alive.

You don't need to remove the thread - simply edit the DOB to show only the year

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 21 Jul 2018 11:59

A probable son born 1958 in Surrey NE reg district.

I don't see him or his parents definitively on 192.com

1939 referred to above - first marriage was to Stringer, and as her record is open, one must assume she is deceased.

Marriages Sep 1947 (>99%)
BRETT Doreen J Stringer Surrey Mid E. 5g 602
Stringer Dennis A C Brett Surrey Mid.E. 5g 602


Dennis re-married in 1954

I wonder why Doreen re-married as Brett - IF it's her

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 21 Jul 2018 15:28

I would guess she reverted to her maiden name after her divorce from Dennis.

May have opted out of ER after that.
No help with his death - but hopefully he's still alive.
