After a long delay I have finally been to Bournemouth Library.
This is what I found in the Bournemouth Echo 1st October 1954
McCall On September 30th 1954 Anthony McCall MD of 35 Christchurch Road Bournemouth,and  of Ayr,aged .85 years.Cremation at 3pm  Monday Oct.4 at North Cemetery. No flowers by request.
A further search showed no obituary. I mentioned this to the Librarian who said obits became very sparse for several years after the world wars.
No doubt 35 Christchurch Road is on Google Earth if you want to look. If I can help further more than willing.

No problem, just that my visits to town centre are not too frequent. If you can stand the wait I will do it.
