I don’t think so. I’ve made contact with someone who has an alternative date of death of 1926 as opposed to 1930.

But newspaper mention I can see (which is neither of the ones you have posted) is for  29 Dec 1930.

So reg might be in 1st qrtr of 1931. But I don’t see one other than one age 70  in Dewsbury district which seems a bit far away.

But, if they never found the body, would it have been registered 7 years later?  Or maybe there was no need to sort out any legal matters so it was never done?

That’s interesting thank you. Out of interest, which newspaper report are you looking at?

Is that a cut and paste Alan?  I can’t get that up in either Freebmd or the GRO

Oh my god. Brain cross-circuit...

Yes you are correct. Too much GRO searching for me. Thought I flipped to deaths.

If he was born about 1864 and would be about 66... there is this one (under deaths)

I don't think that's him. This probate record looks like a match for that one, and this John William and Elizabeth appear to be in St Helens in 1911. St Helens comes under the Prescot district.
