So have you used the Ancestry indexes then? That's all we do here -- and we wouldn't post this info on the boards anyhow as his children are very likely living. (The odds of a related person seeing your post are close to nil -- as I explained in your Bowen thread, the way to find actual relations here is to use the family tree facility.)

The death certificate may have been signed by his wife or a child of his, for example.

There are marriages in the 1950s in Kent and Surrey, for instance, that could be him, but there's no way of knowing w/o the certificate.
