This is the only death for a James Tucker fitting your parameter

Deaths Dec 1945 (>99%)
Tucker James 43 Bristol 6a 79

Do you have his death certificate?

Your best bet would be to start with the nearest cemetery to the address where he died and ask them to check their records.

Do you know the name of James's mother?

There are several births in Bristol in the right time frame and also one in Cardiff.

If you buy the death certificate (details posted by DetEcTive above) then it should give you the address where he died.

Hi Kath thank you so so much x

Glynis- I know you're wanting details of where James is buried but just in case you're not aware, there is a great photo of him on FMP on his CR10 merchant seaman card.

I can send it to you if you don't have access.

Hi, that would be great if you could send me a pic, sorry for the delay in getting back been poorly

Hope you're feeling better Glynis.

I've sent you the merchant seaman card for James Tucker.

Hi Austin, wow that’s great didn’t know he was a sea man, thanks if you have any more info would be great

Please does anyone have access to where people are buried, I have phoned a few cemeteries but just can’t find where my grandfather is

Hi, does anyone have access to burials or cremations , I’m finding it very difficult to find where my grandfather is buried
