Thankyou very much John for your help and assistance with this thread 

If you are looking for a Mr Pegg There is a death notice or obituary in the Hull & Yorkshire Times, 9 December 1983. From free text, he had lived at Atwick for 20 years, recently moved to Catfloss.

Thankyou very much jonwarrn for taking the time to reply. Will have to wait until tomorrow when the local library opens so I can access their online records including the BNA. Kind of assuming that the death/obituary notice you mention could be a recent addition  as I checked their records just before Christmas 2025 and couldn`t find anything.

His death cert should have his home address.    Did he leave a will?

The fact his death is registered in Hull does not necessarily mean he lived there.

He could been taken ill while visiting relatives/friends
Depending on the cause of death - he could have had an accident in that area.

Thankyou for your reply and information you supply.

There was no will. I am aware that a death certificate will probably give an address, however, after ordering a birth certificate for another ancestor previously where I was hoping for a fathers name, that certificate arrived with just a line through the box. I am therefore reluctant to order a duplicate death certificate in this particular case especially as I am actually trying to find out who my ancestor was living with prior to his death. Hence the request for Electoral Register information for the years leading upto his passing.

Hoping someone could assist with knowing where the Electoral Registers for Holderness, in particular the Hornsea area, are located.

If you have an Ancestry subscription they have some scanned cremation registers which will give you a rough idea what might be contained in the images held by Deceased Online.

E.g. try searching "Great Yarmouth" in the "England & Scotland, Select Cemetery Registers, 1800-2024" record set.  There are cremation records in addition to the ones for burials in the corporation cemetery.

Thankyou very much Nick_Ips for your reply.

Unfortunately I don`t have Ancestry subscription, I used to but leads and information gradually dried up so around 5 years ago I stopped subscribing. If I come across any new details I tend to use the local library version of FindMyPast.

If you have a surname but no address then possibly they might be in the Phonebooks (Ancestry) but you do need a surname to search.

Thankyou for your reply cath151.

Yes, I have a surname but no address, never thought about phonebooks so will look forward to see what results they provide. 

As a side issue, I did carry out a search at the local library recently from a 1966-1967 electoral register. Again I had a surname but unfortunately there was no index in this particular electoral register, it was only giving alphabetical listing of the roads, streets, lanes and drives etc in the area  . So I didn`t actually get to find out what I went looking forward, having said that I made use of my time perusing the register finding out who was living at addresses I was familar with ( totally irrelevant to my initial search but very interesting )
