Was he married to your partner's mother?

Who registered his death in 1979?

There is a tree on Ancestry for this family. It says his name is Edwin Percy Holmes and that he married 1930 regd. Hammersmith to a Florence Grace Platts. There appears to be a daughter born of this marriage but no details, just marked private.
