Yes I your post afterwards Carole but had my doubts.
The death in Prestwich, if I have the right one, gives a birth date of 28th December 1920.
This man can be seen in 1939.
The birth registration is in June quarter 1920 which could fit a March birth. However, 1939 register shows someone else who could fit.
I left it, hoping that we might find out more about the family or details from the marriage certificate.

There is a tree showing Thomas b June quarter with that death in 1985
