His probate says he was of 19 Grove Hill Road, Harrow, Middlesex - have you looked for a burial there.

Have you checked newspapers for any report of his death

You can search British newspaper archive without a subscription and if necessary get 3 free results.

As his wife is still at that Harrow address pre WW2 you probably need to be searching cemeteries in the Harrow area
