Hi Marcie, I take it you've tried familysearch. If it's an unusual surname, you could just put that on the family search site and hope that it comes up with your man. The death cert. will have given you his age at death which will narrow it down a bit. Good luck. Jan from Gravesend, Kent. It's a good idea to put the name your searching when you leave a message. It's surprising how many will have a look on line for you there and then!!!! We're a helpful bunch you know!!!!
