Do you have a last known address for him other than Scotland in 1956?

[cemetery friends]

If he died in Scotland he would not appear on the freeBMD INDEX [England and Wales only]. The freeBMD index for deaths runs up to 1983.

Anthony John Swales Tate appears in the 1939 London Electoral registers 96 Adelaide Road Camden
at 126 Adelaide Road is his father Arthur F Tate living with his daughter Pauline.

Anthony had a brother Arthur B Tate who died age 3, sister Pauline married Joseph Birtles in 1941 and died 1984 and, as far as I can see, had no children.

I suggest looking for cousins (or children of cousins) who may hold the answers.

Arthur Frank Tate was born 1880 Pickering Yorkshire (died dec 1950 Marylebone) and had quite a few siblings all living with their parents in Whitby on the 1911 census

Hi dounde

If you believe that after his divorce he was back living in England, you need to check the death indexes 2007-2014 which can be found on microfiche at 7 locations.

From the GRO website

If you are going to be doing family history research, you will find the GRO Indexes an important resource. A complete set of GRO Indexes are available to view in microfiche format at:

    The Library of Birmingham
    Bridgend Local and Family History Centre
    City of Westminster Archives Centre
    Manchester Central Library
    Newcastle City Library
    Plymouth Central Library and
    The British Library

The indexes are available for searching by the public, but the records themselves are not available for scrutiny and information from the entry can only be provided in the form of a certificate. There is no charge for searching the indexes.

As your profile mentions you are in Stourbridge, it might be worth your while taking a day trip to Birmingham Library to check.

If you can't get to Birmingham, I can most probably check the death index next time I go to the British Library.

So if he doesn't appear on the Scottish index or the England & Wales index, you might have to consider:

He is still alive and could be in a nursing home due to his age

He may have left the country after his divorce and could be alive somewhere else or has died overseas.

If he is alive then this topic may be removed in accrordance with our 'no living people' policy.
