Julie,
If your chief target is his death details, why not buy copy of his death registration..... OK you are not sure which death reg is his, but several, if not all, Register Offices will allow you to specify that you only want to buy the cert e.g. if he was c59 yrs at death ( e.g. 1857 minus 1798)
