It says he died in Victoria hospital working London surrey

[rosie99]

I think you mean Woking.  Where in Woking was he living as that should give a clue to where he was buried.  Victoria Hospital was alongside the Basingstoke canal on Chobham Road, close by Woking town centre

[Luke Elmore]

He was living on number 6 Pollard Road

That was in Maybury so you need to be looking at churches in that area.  You should also consider he may have been cremated, Woking crematorium opened in 1878.

I can't see anything in online newspapers

I will email some church’s near by where he lived and see if they can find anything and can you see if you can find his wife Elizabeth she died in 14 January 1934

Eliza not Elizabeth 

Deaths Jun qtr 1934   
Coleshill    Eliza   age 74   
Surrey N.W.    2a   332
