If his parents are alive in 1911 you could check number of children who have died to see if he is still alive at that point.

 another good idea I saw his parents on the 1911 census, massive family, 13 kids, 7 still living 6 died. So far via the GRO I could only find 4 using mothers maiden name indexed.

Did you try this death?

June qtr 1931
Paddington Registration District     vol 1a, page 78

Lee, Henry J     age 52   (so born c1879)

Yes that was one of the first "wrong" certificates I bought. A reminder to myself to record the cert details on a Freebmd Postit note that one must belong to someone somewhere!

Beeonthebay - Just as an example take a look at this record.  There is an envelope alongside the index just click it.
Marriage Dec qtr 1904

Well I never!!!  I didn't even know this existed!!  I can see the typed up very useful information but when I tried to open up an actual scan nothing happened with either link even though I did different formats.  Should I be seeing a copy of a parish register or an actual marriage certificate or am I missing the point here?   

Silvery is correct there is nothing else that you can see other than what has been put on the postem.  The scan is what you should be checking against before ordering a certificate or if you think there is a transcription error as it is a copy of the GRO index.  You can also report transcription errors on this site.

The example I gave you also shows on the entry for her husband James Frederick Wilkinson    You can if you like leave an email address if you are hoping someone may contact you, personally I don't.

You can leave your e-mail address if the postem concerns someone who is on your tree, however you can replace with words like "at" and "dot" to prevent it being harvested by hackers. By putting my e-mail in this form a while back I was contacted by another researcher of the same family tree so this does and can work. Have just downloaded to "WRONG" death certificates from the GRO so have posted details on the relative postem FreeBMD record. didn't take long, including details such as where and when died, home address and informants name address especially if a relative. This when seen would enable a search for a burial, newspaper notice and electoral rolls which are now coming online.

I have been tracing my ancestor Thomas LEE or LEA from the time he married Eleanor SPENCER at Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk in 1797 through to his death at Camberwell Workhouse Surrey in 1846 aged 76. (b 1770?) I have now become convinced that this man was born in Bletchingly, Surrey, per the IGI to parents Richard and Jane in 1778. The connection comes via a nephew Richard LEE (1817) sharing residence with Thomas and Eleanor in the 1841 census. Young Richard being the son of Daniel LEE a brother to Thomas, b Bletchingley 1782. That's the theory.
The problem is I could not locate the baptism entry (image) for neither brother's baptism years on Bletchingley records. Am I looking in the wrong place? maybe fresh eyes will have better luck?
Any help would be most appreciated.
cheers Bob
