Hello Carol
Have you tried contacting or visiting the Chester & Cheshire Archives(in Chester)or the main library. There might be a report of his death or funeral in a newspaper. Its worth a try. I am myself waiting for the estimate for photocopy of an article from a newspaper for 1931 from a different source. I cant put my hand on the email address for the archives at the moment. You can find them on the net though. Good Luck
