Amy,

Unfortunately, Elsie died in 2001.

Eric might not be on more recent electoral rolls for the reasons you mention. Also, he could have opted out.

They had a son Clifford John who died in 1972.

If he had no wife or children, the chances of an annoucement are slim...unless he had other close family of course

I think it may have confused the matter that I said she was on the 2002 ER but I left my husband in 2001 and was listed with him in 2002 so they are slow to update
