I am hoping a kind person can help me.

A cousin of my husband has just died leaving no close relatives.

We do not know his date of birth to register his death.

His mother was called Kathleen and his father was called George.

The surname was Heaven or maybe Heavens.

We think he was about 66 when he died meaning his birthday would have been in the 1950s.

I hope someone can help me.

Many thanks

Hi yes it must have been. I have just found that.

It is terrible that the family don’t know his details.

I have just messaged another cousin to see if he know the day and month to save ordering the certificate

I have 3rd quarter 1949 for his birth

Have another problem re George Derek Price

There were rumours he had a brother..the cousins thought this wasn’t correct..however I think he has

John R Heaven b1952 Cirencester

We believe he was put into foster care

Really need to trace him. He may have died of course.

Any ideas how I go about this as he would be next of kin
