When were you last in contact, where, and was he married etc?
Do you know his exact date of birth? (But do not put it here)
Thanks

Added:
He was registered as John Mace at birth on free bmd.
There is a possible marriage in Reading in 1952.

Added:
But then there is a possible marriage of the 'bride' in 1965 Reading.

Did Guy die in 1977? John might be the informant on the death cert.

Many thanks for your replies. Unfortunately John dropped off the scene many years ago sometime after WW2. My husband, children and I did find their home in Buckinghamshire in 1974 or so and the children enquired where my aunt's grave was (cemetery nearby). The person who spoke to them asked if their mother was called Eileen and shut the door. So, no, sadly no contact.

John's birth was registered in the first quarter of 1927, this death would unfortunately be a match for that registration

Name: John Mace
Birth Date: 3 Jan 1927
Date of Registration: Sep 2001
Age at Death: 74
Registration district: Southend On Sea
Inferred County: Essex
Register Number: B11C
District and Subdistrict: 4751B
Entry number: 220

you would need to know his exact date of birth from his birth certificate to be sure, but if that is a match the death certificate could have been signed by a child with an address.
