It might be worth checking electoral roll for year before his death -you may be able to trace neighbours or other persons living at the same address who had knowledge of him.

Hi micky it's me (Sharon). You might have covered this already, but do you think he could have had a church funeral before burial? It's not that long ago so the church might have records.

The nearest churches to Gt Cheetham St would be St John C of E (Murray St), St James C of E (Gt Cheetham St East), or St Thomas of Canterbury Roman Catholic (Gt Cheetham St East).
Byers (Salford & London)
Stringfellow (Salford & Chorley)
Holmes (Manchester & Birmingham)
Goulding/Golden (Birmingham & Lincolnshire)
Bassett (Manchester & Salford, Staffordshire)
Child (Lincolnshire)
Belshaw (Salford)
Hallsworth (Eccles & Salford)
Vernon (Bury & Chapel en le Frith)

You say you've tried everything !...... maybe he was cremated - that's the cheapest way these days ! - you might have to talk to the rose bushes in the Garden of Rememberance - the way I do !!

You might also think about ... if he was in the service - you may be able to get his service records or pension records !
