Von,

Your grandfather Albert Percy Timmins who was born on 7 Nov 1900,died in Stockport in the SEpt 1/4 of 1970. Ref is Volume 10a page 1400.

You could get the cert and find out if he left a will-by writing to the

Principal Probate Registry 
LONDON  Probate Department
Principal Registry of the Family Division
First Avenue House
42-49, High Holborn
London WC1V 6NP
Tel: 020 7947 6939/6043/7431/7414/6946
Email : maria.boulby[AT]hmcourts-service.gsi.gov.uk

Maybe your dad's name was mentioned as informant or perhaps grandchildrens names if they were beneficiaries.

The most up to date address we can find him at for definite the better.

I'm sorry to say but I think I've found his death.

Don't forget it's those who are left who give the info-which may not always be spot on.They may not have known the exact DOB or the person may have tried to pretend they were younger than they really were.

Albert Donald TIMMINS died in the March 1/4 of 1980 in Cambridge.
His DOB has been given as 18th Dec 1930......and the ref for the death cert is
Volume 9 page 0622

The death cert will usually give you a family members name ie wife or child.

If you wished to apply for the cert,and managed to get a name and address from 1980,please post again and I'll seeif I can find any family members.

Hope this helps in your search for the truth ,even if it's not from the person you had hoped to hear it from.

Regards

Carol

There is an Albert D Timmins, mother's maiden name Barrett, birth registered March qtr 1931 at Liverpool. He could be the one who died in 1980 perhaps. Hard to tell

Oh dear,that's thrown a spanner in the works hasn't it?

I've been searching the marriage indexes,and so far have done from 1960-70.

As yet found nothing.
