Welcome to the boards, Anthony.

There is the possibility that this is his death - do you know his exact date of birth, and whether he moved to London?

Buy a copy of the marriage cert, to find out how old he was, and his father's name.

The you can research him properly

Is he likely to know of you?

Neither of these deaths were in Northants, so you need to get a few certificates to check.

You can look for children on free bmd using Phillips and Betty's maiden name.

Have you looked to see if either are in any trees on here?

Added:
At least 5 children in Northants. from 1945 to 1954.

Presumably, you are aware of your 5 siblings.

Did all of them have their surname changed to Stokes?

Betty died in 2014, according to on-line newspaper obituaries.

there is no other Lawrence Phillips birth to match the birthdate on that death record in London

I guess for someone born 1924 it would not be a shock to see their death ... I do wonder whether Anthony wanted his parents' entire personal history laid out here ...

but just to note, the other births were double registered


there may be a chance this is Lawrence's second wife's death

Name: Eileen Mary Phillips
Birth Date: 2 Feb 1930
Date of Registration: Nov 1991
Age at Death: 61
Registration district: Haringey
Inferred County: London
Volume: 12
Page: 1846

a marriage in Haringey in 1986

and there are two births in Marylebone before that time that don't match readily with another marriage for the same surnames (always difficult to tell when a mother may have had a previous marriage)

You remember me. :)

Anthony ... did you mean to click 'Watch This' up at the top of the thread? :-)

there's a button there right under the title of your thread, just click it!


... btw, did you also mean to thank people for their efforts? You can do that by typing in the same box as where you just typed 'Watch this'.
