I was also able to confirm that there was a death certificate for Richard for 1934. I had seen another family member who died later than that so I assumed it did not exist. Further to this:
"Most death records from 1930 onwards are still only held by Births, Deaths and Marriages, as they are not yet in a digital format that can be loaded into the Names Index. Digitisation work is underway that will see historical records gradually being added to the Names Index, so they can be accessed more easily in the future".
Good luck, Nanna
