I live abroad so finding info is a bit more difficult.
I have been trying to find info on my uncle. His name is Leslie Ewin b10 Aug 1924 in Kensinton London. The family haven't seen him since 1950 and recently I was told he may have died in the 1990's. How can I find this information and also to see if he was married and had children?

This looks like is death registration-

Name: Leslie Frederick Ewin
Birth Date: 10 Aug 1924
Death Registration Month/Year: Nov 1993
Age at death (estimated): 69
Registration district: Chiltern and South Bucks
Inferred County: Buckinghamshire
Register number: B12B
District and Subdistrict: 3251B
Entry Number: 118

If you obtain the death cert, the person registering the death may be wife/child if you are lucky.

Marriage and children will be a lot more difficult, it means trawling the complete index, quarter by quarter, year by year for the marriage, then doing the same for any children born of the marriage on somewhere like Ancestry or Findmypast.
