So sorry guys, so in all of this, what do I/ can I do to help this, bearing in mind I'm in Western Australia

What certificates should I get?

Also the Full Death Certificate of Theodore A. Burkat, the person your famiy actually knew (the person your relative found a foreign Birth Certicate for) and see what information was given to the Registrar at Death.

It may confirm husband of, or Widower of, or other information known by your family at the time of his Death, or it may just record the death. But many give useful snippets or a clue?

You also say you were refused sight of, or never seen that Death Certificate?

My late Mother registered a Death in the 1990s and the Death Certificate gives date and Village of Birth and also the Nearest Registration Town at the time of Birth. It also says Widow of and gives her late Husband's name who died 20 years earlier.

Because it was within the last 50 years you may need to apply to the local Registration District Register Office?

No, it’s available at GRO, the only hitch is  you have to order a full certificate rather than one of the less expensive options.
