There is a probate listing for him on FMP, date 2013.

He is also on the electoral roll in Leicester until 2013.

He was 80, so could just have been old age!

Sent PM to Mary to let her know that she only needs one thread because we all look at all the boards, and asking her to read carefully everything on all the threads and then to let us know what more, if anything, she needs to know.

Advised continuing only on 1391816, as it has the most information.

Received PM thanking me for mine.
