I'm hoping someone might be able to help root out some info for me on the above, Jack Morgan who died, according freebmd, in Jul-Sep quarter 1981 in Swansea. His birth date is listed as 22JE1924. I'm trying to find an obituary or newspaper reference to him (or some other information about him) to see if he's linked to a John Morgan (born 1924) that I'm attempting to trace for a friend. I've ordered a birth certificate for my John so I can get a more accurate DOB, but I was hoping to find some extra details on this Jack before I take the plunge and just order his death certificate.
I've never been all that great at looking through newspaper archives, so if anyone could help or offer some pointers, I'd be very grateful!

Have you looked for him and his parents on the 1939 register?

I've found John Morgan (mother's maiden name Nettle) with his parents in 1939, but unfortunately his entry is still redacted as he was born less than 100 years ago, and without a death certificate I can't have it opened.
As for this Jack Morgan, one or two came up but I can't prove either way if these are correct, but again it could be due to his DOB being less than 100 years ago. I have found a Jack Morgan (mother's maiden name Cole) born in Apr-Jun quarter 1924 in Glamorgan, so it's possible this death certificate in Swansea is him, but I'm hoping to prove that one way or another before I buy the certificate.

Yes, this Jack Morgan IS there. Rules prevent me from giving you the details.

Hmm, okay, I'll have to have another look and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the help.
