Can anyone help to solve this mystery please?

John Olgerts Bunde died 31 Oct 2013

There doesn't sem to be a birth reg in that name in England or Wales. Perhaps he was born elsewhere?

I wonder if they've asked about caravan or holiday let's in the area?

There is a John Bunde (no middle initial) on the ER to 2014 living in Morden. Would the ER forms have been sent out before his death, or could the Morden John be a relative? It's a very unusual name in England.

Thank you for your interest.

It's such an unusual name that these postings could provide vital clues.

Thank you.

He MIGHT have been a Latvian waiter granted naturalisation papers in 1964 ...?( London Gazette)

This story was also on Kentonline. Some one has come up with the same results as we have. Great minds think alike!

Let's hope that the council have been told and can follow up the suggestions.

I have just spoken to the burial officer for the area and told her the results of our searches.

I also gave her some telephone numbers which might provide definite answers.
