Impossible to tell from limited info.  5 possibilities from 1939 - 1946

You could buy a copy of his death cert to see who reported his death - possibly his wife

Or check if he left a will. https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

He’s still living with his mother on the 1939 register sadly.

If you give us more detail and locations for the events you have found then it would help to narrow down the search. There is no point in people duplicating the work you have already done.

Given there are 5 possible marriages from 1939 - 1946.  If he died 1988 are there any living nieces and nephews who remember him and may be able to provide info?

You could check the obits for 1988 at the RO

Or - as suggested in my reply - death cert

Unfortunately there’s no relatives I’m aware of all of the family I know are deceased sadly.

All I know is he was born 26 Dec 1915 and was a shell worker in 1939 living on George Rd Newcastle upon Tyne apologies should have added that in. I believe he died 1988 but I could be wrong.
His father was a William Wilson and he must have died prior to 1939 as Margaret is listed as a widow.

Margaret’s maiden name was Bailey and her middle name Stephenson. That’s pretty much all I know.

Thank you

As CaroleW suggested his death certificate may help

Checking the Electoral Register using his last known address to see if he was still living there in later years
