Hoping that someone might be able to help in tracing the birth registration, and/or on the 1939 register.

died Worcester 1969.

Information taken from his death certificate.

Thanks again

Where does he fit in to your tree 

Death certificate information is often wrong as dependant on the knowledge of the informant.  Who was the informant

[rosie99]

He was buried in a double grave 5th January 1970 age 43 - died 30 Dec 1969

Hi

He is the grandfather of a friend of mine.
He and his grandmother never married - she was the informant - Gladys Evelyn Garrett (nee Jukes).
Both now deceased.
Evelyn married James Garrett in Staffordshire in 1947, but left the family home around 5 years later.

Thanks
Sue

I suspect he was born under a different surname - possibly illegitimate perhaps?

1955 ER shows him just as Malcolm - no other resident - address Caravan bus - over bridge
