Like others have found, there doesn't seem to be a death for a Frank Towse age 15 assuming he was the one born in 1929.

Might your friend have skipped a generation and the one who died was Frank 1929's son? He might even have been the son of another Towse/Bond sibling, who was named after their brother Frank.

Added - rootgatherer - that's team work for you :-D

Its a pity that Ann has been so badly mistranscribed.

The image shows that her name was *updated* to something like Morady on 19 Feb 1945 then to Flanagan on 26 Sep 1950.

This could be her first marriage

Can't find a Morgan or Towse marriage to a Flanagan, but FreeBMD does show a son born to Flanagan/Towse parents in 1951, regstration district Hull.

Not posting as he may be living.

Unless your friend is the informant, they might consider buying a copy of the death certificate.

It should say where she was born, and name her husband regardless if he predeceased her.
Remember that the personal information on a DC is only as good as the informants knowledge.
