Which years have you looked at in the FULL death records?

The only relevant info is his birth year, as the 'age at death' is recorded on the index.

Hi Keith,

I think he must have died some time between 1943 to 1946 as my uncle was away in the navy when he died.

Hi Von,

I have asked my uncle if he knew where he was buried and about a funeral but he can not remember
as he was out at sea at the time.
The St Pancras area where they lived was badly bomded.
The only thing i know is Old Church St Pancras was a Church my Greenfields used a lot.
I live in Leicester so its hard for me to get down there now.
Thanks for your time and info.
STAN GREENFIELD.

Hello Von,

Thanks again for your help.

My grandfather Alfred b1888 Pancras was a
Organ Pipe Maker at Islington North London in 1913.

1917. he was a Postman at Kilburn Sorting office, Kilburn, London, N.W.6.

20/12/1936 he was down on my parents marriage cert as being a Postman.

Do you think it would be worth trying to find the address of Kilburn post office and send them a letter.
thanks
STAN GREENFIELD.
