Do you know what country he died in or was born in? If you know that much, someone here can probably look up his information or steer you in the right direction.

There does not appear to be a death for Stanley BOAK from January 1963 to December 1967.
I can only find the death of a Stanley G. BOAKES in Wandsworth, Dec. qtr. 1867, vol 5e, page 727. he was aged 56.

Welcome to RootsChat Pixieo :)
I have checked GRO index as well but I understand from your other post that it would have occurred in Scotland?

Hi Pixieo5,
I would like to express my sympathy for your early loss of your father.
This is going to be a tough request because many Rootschatters here have access to the Scotlandspeople website but the death records are only up to 1956.
If you can wait patiently for 12 more years or so, you can find out where and when your Father passed away.
Your best bet would be to ask a kind soul here or yourself go down to either cities: Glasgow or Edinburgh where one can view the actual records in person for a fee then if you find a right record--then you can order it for a fee--I think it would be a bit less than you would have to order from the Scottish GRO itself.
I understand that the record office is just across from the train station in Edinburgh!
If you could not make a trip to either offices, you would have to write to the Scottish GRO and pay for the searches and a certificate which they will do on your behalf. Since you know he died in Edinburgh and roughly when, that would be more than enough to go on.
Hope this helps you a bit. I am sorry if it is not on positive note!!
Best wishes,
Tees

thank you Tess all of my life i have always known my father was dead but no one talked about it why i dont know i still visited his mum and dad (they never talked about it either maybe it was because we were babies when it happened?)i had a lovely child hood with them not so good with my abusive step father,but our time with them always took away the blackness.i guess i am a bit scared but i have to do it thank you for your kindness no one has ever said sorry for the loss of your father it has i must admit made me a little tearful but i have to find out the information because i have never been allowed to moarn for the loss of my father thank you Sharon x
