Hi John and welcome to the boards


I think the informant, on his death cert, had his birth year wrong.

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2006 England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2006
Name: Jabez Beck
Birth Date: 23 Dec 1920
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1974
Age at Death: 53
Registration district: Leicestershire Central

Hi John

Have you tried to contact anyone else who seems to have him in their tree on here? There seems to be quite a lot seeing as there is only one Jabez Beck listed on the birth records...If you have not looked go to search top right of screen, select all trees and just enter his name to try and make contact click on "find out more" and remove the standard message and compose one of your own

If that is his death the year of birth is obviously wrong so 23/12/1918 is more likely to be correct birth date

Married twice?

Hi Angela

As John never returned, it may be better for you to click on his name and send a private message....he should then be notified by email from Genes
