Bit of a question mark over location!!

Date of Registration: Jul 1992
Age at Death: 62
Registration district: Plymouth
Inferred County: Devon
Volume: 21
Page: 1509


Jan

who was the informant on the death cert you have

?
James Will WILLS m Betty J Bates Jun Q 1948 London Southwark
?
Betty J Bates b Dec Qtr 1929 London Southwark 1d 95

??
Betty Jean Wills d July 1992 Plymouth Devon DoB 4.8.1929 - a bit early for a Dec Qtr birth Registration, but not impossible. And a bit of a distance from their usual stomping grounds. This is the only one showing up to 2006. Has she definitely died?

James who married Betty J. Bates was James W. Wills.
Jan

Another death - makes James a bit older?

James Will WILLS d Southwark, London Dec 1991 born 2.6.1925

EDIT - goes with this birth? Civil Registration event: Birth

Registration district: Camberwell
County: London
Year of registration: 1925
Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Mother's maiden name: Harman
Volume no: 1D

BUT then there's this

Civil Registration event: Birth

Registration district: Camberwell
County: London
Year of registration: 1928
Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Mother's maiden name: Harman

no marriage for circa 1948 I think you have some wrong dates somewhere

Shirley, this is the marriage found by Reggie:

Marriages Jun 1948 (>99%)
Bates Betty J Wills Southwark 5d 1248
Wills James W Bates Southwark 5d 124

AHH mistranscribed!!

so that must be the wrong death cert you have for James

cross posted and i am on Google chrome and didnt reload the page before posting :-D

Gillian - the best thing is to tell us how you got to James and Betty in the first place, then we can pin things down a bit easier.
Jan

hi i got death cert of james (betty jean wills) is informant on cert. i think james is my cousin? gill

Why do you think he is your cousin? When and where was your cousin born, who were his parents?
Is there a relationship for Betty to James on the cert?
Jan

She might be the informant but that doesn't mean she was his wife.

Betty married a James W Wills is the death cert for this James W Wills ?

You could use his birth cert to check for exact birth date, to double-check.
