There is no John Lunn death with that birthyear - they all have middle christian names

Was Mary Ann his wife or his sister

So did she marry  There is no point looking for a death for Lunn if she married.  You need to supply her maiden name

Have you checked freebmd for John Lunn's birthyear - there is none in 1907 for just plain John Lunn

That death does not show up on Ancestry under Staffordshire using a birthyear of 1907+-1yr

It only shows if you omit the birthyear and then physically search all entries for the age

There is a birth for John Tom Lunn but that death is just John

John Tom Lunn was b March qtr 1907 and died December qtr 1962 so would have been 55

Is this death more likely now we know about his middle name of Tom?

Kaycee

Can you ensure that you always post FULL christian names - as you can see from the info above - leaving out a middle name can result in possible mis-information

I didnt realise it at the time of posting
that John had a middle name

thank you for the info so far

It's always best to check it out on freebmd first - some people transposed their christian names in later life or were just known by their middle name
