The death was registered as Percival G Hobson - according to the GRO Index.  Unfortunately YorkshireBMD for Leeds does not extend as far as 1951.  There is no sign of a Paul Hobson being registered in 1951.  I think that somewhere along the line Percival has become Paul - perhaps a transcription error along the way  :-\

Hi Brian:  not sure of your source for the burial details, but the Leeds and District Burials CD from Yorkshire Indexers has the entry as Paul George Hobson, buried on 6 December 1951.  We're possibly talking the same source.  My source for the death registration was Ancestry, but I did look at the image for "Hobson".

Oh wow, is there anything you can't provide for this novice?...you're wonderful, thank you so much. I'm just emailing my brother to ask if he wants to come with me to locate.

What a wonderful site and people...thank you!
