I can't find any notices in the newspapers, but there are two which might be of interest.
There is an article about Whitwick Colliery in the Leicester Evening Mail, on 16th June 1962, about miners willing to contribute 10 cwts. of their concessionary coal to the pool supplying retired miners and widows.
One of the names mentioned is Mr. Everard Gent (50 years service).
In 1939, he was a colliery hewer at 91 Brook Street in Shepshed.
In 1921, they were in Whitwick as Ghent. Everard, an out of work miner, is translated incorrectly as Edward, so I have sent an error message.
In the Leicester Evening Mail, on 3rd October 1940, it mentions Everard Gent (Jnr.?) of Brook Street, Shepshed, who escaped injury as a pillion passenger when the rider, Edward Ash, rode into a dyke.
Probate following Everard's death, on 9th October 1962, gives his address as 25 McCarthy Road, Shepshed.
That of Ethel, on 9th May 1963, is the same address.

This person could still be alive, should this be deleted.

I have found a Whittaker born Q4 1943 registered Bromley Kent mothers name Whittaker with a death 2009. I was just wondering your opinion on this.
Given Norman and Irene married in Q2 1943, I would have thought a child born after that date would be a Perkins
There's a Whittaker with mmn Whittaker b Q1 1940 Dartford
Have you ordered the will
