PEARSON JOHN EDWARD 30JE1927 CAMDEN 14 1948

Look for cemeteries in the area. (Google)

Have you any reason to think he was buried, as opposed to being cremated?

looked on find a grave and this came up

john× edward× pearson× Born 1929× Died 1980× London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Greater London, England

I don't see that record at all on Findagrave.

The man in question was born in 1927 - not 1929.

No info apart from Civil death reg'n on Ancestry or FMP

Suggest you get the death certificate to see who the informant was it could be family

But died in 1980 that info may not help


I have had success in contacting the parks and cemeteries dept of the local council giving them the details from the cert,

Councils keep excellent records of cemeteries and crematoriums

Hopefully too the cert will give some idea of his home address so you know which council to contact


Bear in mind though they may not be taking enquiries for some time still

Try deceasedonline to see if there is a record
