hi there guys and girls

needing a little bit of help i have been trying to find my great uncles death all i know is he was born around 1905 kent and died in bexley mental home some where between 1940 and 1950 but after looking through all the death records even all the way to 1958 i can not find him, would his death been registered seen as A; he died in an mental home and B: he hung himself there

any help would be great

thanks for your time Carrie

Hi

Have you only looked at the partially transcribed index on freebmd?   Transcriptions currently only go up to around 1930 so you will need to search the full GRO index.  It is available at your nearest main library

It can also be searched online if you have an Ancestry subscription or at www.findmypast.com which is a paysite

Neither the place nor circumstances of his death would affect a death registration

I have a death certificate for a g.uncle who died in a mental asylum in 1964.  He didn't hang himself, but I doubt that would make any difference to registering his death.
