Unfortunately I don't think it's your Tony.

I know because Tony is antony not Arthur

Second name could have been Anthony - although we know in this case from the death it was Albert. Always worth a long shot like that.

My grandmother was always knows to everyone as Anne. That name does not appear anywhere on her birth, marriage or death certificates.

I thought we had identified and eliminated the Tony Brett that died in 1987 in Lancashire.  In the absence of any other death that would fit for that year could your grandmother have been coming to the UK for a more pleasurable occasion. 

Hi Rosie

it is possible that she was over in England for pleasure afterall mum and I know grandma was heavily involved in the chapter in September 87 but she also wanted to visit family members as well

Ian, how have you learned of the missing son, and is your informant/source clear on the dates and details?

The Tony whose dates you have given seems to have been born Tony Sidwell, to parents Stanley Sidwell and Lillian née Jennings, and become a “Brett” on Lillian’s subsequent marriage to Wilfred Brett in 1933.  His birth and death occurred in Lancashire. As Annette says, there’s no obvious link to your London Bretts, unless you can shed any further light.

you are right there is a Tony sidwell did marry in Sept 1964 but so did PRYKE    JANE W     and Tony Brett in SUDBURY ...

You are right
1954
Tony Sidwell/Brett married
That Tony Brett died 1987
The spouse may still be living as I can’t see a death so we should not name her.

You could send for the 1964 marriage certificate to check the details. There is a birth for the female in 1943.
I can’t see any births for that marriage or deaths.

You could also send for the will of Tony Brett who died 1987 to check.

I have found on freebmd that
Tony Sidwell married Gosgrove Dympna Sidwell Nelson in 1954

ancestry.com has indicated a match between Tony Brett and Jane Pryke

[heywood]

The female from the 1954 marriage is shown once in electoral registers 2002 -2010. Unfortunately, the record is not refined to a year. She is living in the same area as the other records already mentioned.
You could search for a death for her, otherwise she should not be named as it is possible that she could be living.
As you know, Tony Sidwell/ Brett died in 1987 and his will might indicate if the couple were together at the time of his death.
