Trying to find more information on a distance relative. I believe he moved to Dorset and died in 1988 in the Weymouth area.

He had 2 younger sisters Nora Olive Port and Ivy Muriel Port 1909-1989, who too moved from London to the Bridport area. Parents were George Henry and Hannah Mary Port.

What sort of information are you trying to find, and where have you looked?
Have you got the death certificates, so you know who the informants are for more information?
Thanks
