Linking to the 1959 marriage, Ancestry suggests this is Henry's death - though goodness knows if it is or not:

Henry G Cox
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Henry G Cox
Death Age: 81
Birth Date: abt 1879
Registration Date: Apr 1960[May 1960] [Jun 1960]
Registration Quarter: Apr-May-Jun
Registration District: Chatham
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 5b
Page: 299


BUT
there are plenty of other deaths for men named Henry G Cox, and Ancestry's suggestions are only that, and often irrelevant.

Do you have the 1959 marriage cert?

If so -

What was Henry's occupation and age?

The birth and death info given by John refers to Nellie, not Henry - though it's not clear from the wording of John's post.
