George Johnson died 1960 Bradford - is he ours?

[Lisajj]

Hello all
So, Great Grandfather, George William Johnson (b. 20 Apr 1881, London), married for the 2nd time very quickly after his first wife died. He married a lady called Ethel Rayner (married name Ethel Goff) who was a widow. They are still living in Essex in 1939. However, there was some sort of upset in the family and at some point George and Ethel moved away. Not heard from again and there really isn't anyone left alive to tell us anything. I did some digging on Ethel. She had a daughter who lived in Bradford but was widowed quite young. I have found a death for George William Johnson, so I ordered the death cert and it arrived this morning.
It says George William Johnson died 17 Aug 1960 at 24 Silverhill Road, Bradford. It says he was 79 years old, so the age matches. Informant was E. Johnson, widow. So that almost matches.  There's nothing else on there to give me any clues to if he is our George or not.
So, are there any other records which I could search? The only thing I can find online is the 1939, which we already have.
I don't even know which cemeteries there are, or even if there's a grave stone.
Any ideas please!
Thanks

Lisa

Why does it "almost" match?

You could look for a death for Ethel.  How old is she in 1939?

If he left a will there might be some helpful information to rule him in or out.

Yes I can see the daughter was widowed almost immediately but had a daughter the following year.

Hi
It's an "almost match" as she was Ethel Johnson, so E. Johnson is almost a match.
Her daughter was Rita Ethel Goff. She married someone called Whittaker, who died not long after they were married.
Ethel and Rita Ethel were both born in Braintree. I have them on the 1921 and the 1939. I'll check against the dates of birth for a death for Ethel Johnson. Although I've looked on Ancestry and no one else has her married to George Johnson but does have a year of death as 1966.

Thanks for that info.  I just amended my post as found the daughter

And I havent found a will for him either.

What about electoral registers in Bradford to see who this George was living with?

If he is with an Ethel for example.

I haven't found any electoral registers online for that date, even though I've been told they exist!
