Peter McNamara - London Died March 1991
« on: Tuesday 03 May 22 12:53 BST (UK) »
This isn't a 'standard' request since I'm trying to get in contact with anyone who knew Peter.

Peter James McNamara. Lived in Leyton, London. 15/03/1959 - 12/03/1991
aged 31years. Ashes scattered at City of london cemetery - East Ham, Lonodon.

Peter was a friend of my partner (Andy) and holds a special place in his heart. However, aside from memories, my partner has nothing by which to remember his friend. I know it would mean a great deal, if I could obtain a photograph of Peter for him but so far; appeals on various social networks have resulted in only a few replies from old friends, none of whom had any photos.

Thus I am making this last ditch appeal in the hope that it might be read by someone who knew, or  is related to Peter. I am happy to reimburse any reasonable reprographic and postage costs.   

If you knew Peter or you know someone who did, please get in contact. Thank you.

I would start by seeing if the informant on his death certificate is traceable ?

There is a probate record for that name and date of death - otherwise known as Peter Joseph?
Perhaps that would help with contacts.

Thank you all for your replies. I never expected to get any answers as quickly as this.  :)

I had already found the probate record with the confusing change of middle name but hadn't taken it further. ???

The suggestion about the death cert is not one I had considered but I suspect it would also be a dead end as it is most likely that the informant was either Peter's partner or his parents, all of whom are deceased. :'(

I am most grateful to Ladyhawk for tracing down what appear to be Peter's siblings and their current addresses. I shall write to them and (hopefully they will not discard the letter thinking it is some sort of scam), and they will be kind enough to provide a photograph.  ;D

Thank you again.
