Middle Names on 1960s Death Index

[WilkoHunter]

Hello,

I'm trying to find the date my grandfather died; i've got a rough idea but I'm not exactly sure where and when. His name was John George, but I can't find any John George or John G records that match up with his age, although there are a few possibles listed as just John.

His middle name was no secret, and has been on most of his records since he was christened with it. Is it likely that they would have recorded him down as just John, or is/was there a policy of always including middle initials or names if they are known?

Thanks..

My understanding is that the registrar records what he/she is given.  So if the informant didn't know his middle name it wouldn't have been recorded.

Thanks Linda,

I think I've found him now, and it was under John G, but almost 10 years earlier than I though.
