If you don't have any luck in Salford,try Philips Park and Southern cemetry(the films are at Central Library) I looked at them both recently and people from all over Manchester were at Philips park (I was looking circa 1900) and from all over the country at Southern cemetry (I was looking 1930's and 1960's)

If you know his place and date of death - try Colindale - they have all the newspapers from all over England - send them an email and see what happens !!
it's not free - but depending on how badly you want the information .... it's worth a shot !!

Do you know who registered the death ?

Oh no, sorry to hear you couldn't find him ..... don't give up, his burial has to be registered somewhere!

Follow up any ideas even if they seem impossible!

Good luck!
