De'Ath/Death was apparently not uncommon in East Anglia as a surname amongst those who made coffins/dealt in some way with the burial of the dead:  I can only think that the name originated in a nickname in the same way as a friend of mine in Wales is known as "Bob the Shop"

There was a repeated episode of 'Minder' a few weeks ago in which the undertaker was called 'Death' - "pronounced Dee - ath if you don't mind"
