Essex borders to the East of London and Wimbledon is south west London. It's quite feasable.

I live in Cardiff and was informant for my Father in Wiltshire.

wimbledon is in surrey and essex is northeast of the thames

Maybe your uncle lived in Essex, and was in a hospital in Wimbledon. Or the informant could have lived in Wimbledon at some time, and moved out to Essex.

its just that it dosnt look if he ever married tried to google the mans name but come up nothing it was in 1970,and thank you all for your replys

my uncle died in hospital in wimbledon his address is 16 glendale drive wimbledon

Does the informant state a relationship to the deceased or were they present at death?
Mumsy.

no it just states the informant was
john leslie goodwin of
123 st james ave thorpe bay essex
oualifications causing the body to be buried

If my memory serves me right, the informant has to be either a close relative or present at the death. Perhaps he is a relative? Maybe someone else could confirm if I'm right.
Mumsy.

yes i think your right but his parents were already dad and his brother my dad was also dead,but the name dos,nt ring any bells,so quess im stuck on this one,i tried looking for amarriage of my uncle but nothing came up

how can i find out the connection of john to my uncle as i dont have any family left to ask,and his name dos,nt mean anything to me,thank you

I remember a rellie telling me that a great uncle, who had no children of his own, and was married twice, had his step-sons wife as informant on his death cert. So could have been anyone who knew him and registered the death.

yes could be but i cant find any marriage for him and his sisters didnt have the married name goodwin
