How do you find who lived at an address between 1960s and 1995
« on: Friday 31 May 24 17:03 BST (UK) »
60 years ago when I was around 11 I was in a kite club run by a chap called Richard and his wife Lillian.  Richard was a bit of a mystery man and I would like to do some research on him unfortunately as it was a long time ago I can’t remember his last name,  but I know Richard and Lillian lived at 74 Water Lane Ilford Essex between 1960s and 1995 when he died his wife had died sometime before that. I have tried 192.com which doesn't go back that far and the land register, but they couldn't help. Has anyone have any ideas how to find who lived at an address in that time.  Thanks Sirius

Look for a probate record for first name, year of death and place.
It works on a subscription site.

Check for deaths for a Richard in Essex in 1995 & see if a surname jogs your memory

He was born 12 Sep 1906 (not 1907 as stated on his death registration) in Goodmayes, Essex. He was the only son of Richard Robert and Mary Faulkner Fowell. At the time of the 1911 census the family were at 91 Castleton Road, Redbridge, Essex. His father's occupation was coal salesman. In the 1939 Register, they are still at 91 Castleton Road. Richard junior is single and a professional musician.
He married Doris L Allen in Q2 1964. The marriage was registered in Ilford. Richard and Doris do not appear to have had any children. Presumably his wife went by her middle name.
