You can ask the local register office but they may only confirm the person has died, not exactly when.

They may also ask for information to verify the request which you may not have such as exact date of death and place.

That's if you can even get to speak with the register office. A lot of these calls now go through call centres.

My local reg office will only take written enquiries/applications accompanied by a cheque.

The problem nowadays is that not many people put obituaries in newspapers and often not even death notices.

I've heard of & knew someone who's house was broken into whilst at the funeral of their partner, how sad is that  :(

Even back as far as 1988 when my mum died, the undertaker told us not to even put the street name in the funeral notice "because some low-life use funeral notices to find out when it's safe to break in and steal" !!

People do not tend to put obits in the paper,they cost too much!
But our local funeral directors do have the weekly list of who is being buried (and where) each week.

If you know who the family may have used,maybe that's an option?
Not so useful in a large area,but where I live people only use them or the Co-op  ;D

I think if you had posted all the avenues you have tried would have helped.

Would this person have been on the 1939 Register?

Is the persons details open for the 1939?

Ok...blanked out may mean he's still alive?

Another avenue...

Do you know if this person owned their own property?

If so, this link will let you know when last sold etc. but that doesn't mean he's deceased as he may be in a Home or living with relatives?

https://www.zoopla.co.uk/house-prices/

If the house is Council owned it will not have any details i.e. it will only state 'Unknown' although if the property was bought many yrs ago & not sold but rented out now the details will still come up as 'Unknown'!

Do you know of any family members you could trace on the Electoral Roll on the link I posted?

His name however should come up on the electoral roll (as far as I know) if he's in a home & for sure if he's with relatives?

Try a search with name & check his age on any within another household as he may be with a married daughter with a different surname?

That's assuming he/family member are in same area or it's 'needle in a haystack'?
