Hi I have been trying for a while to find my grandfathers death cert for a while on BMD Index but not having much luck. He was born Harry William Shaw in apr/may/jun qtr in 1913 in Stoke. His mothers maiden name was Plant. I have been told he died in Manchester around 1959 but I cant seem to find it!!! Can anyone help? I need a fresh pair of eyes!!! Thankyou, Colette

Family memories can be way out. Have you tried both Harold and Henry for his first name.

I tried them both when I was first looking. He was definitely alive in 1957 and died some time before 1960. His whole family are so mysterious I cant find anythinbg!!!!
