I have now discovered why the death in 1996 does not appear in the GRO index, although it does manage to appear in the Ancestry and Findmypast record sets derived from the same data.  Firstly, it does not appear in FreeBMD because they are only about 10% of the way through transcribing deaths for 1996.  However, it has always been possible to search the scans from which FreeBMD is compiled.  I found this entry in the file numbered 1996D-C-036 i.e. the 36th page of surnames beginning C for Deaths in 1996.

The alphabetical list does not repeat the surname when it is the same.  However, after the first few Carr entries we have a subheading "Carr." for Alan's entry, followed by subheading "Carr" for the remainder of the page.  So our Alan has a full stop entered at the end of his surname.  If you then search the GRO index for "Carr." he is there.

I will report an error to the GRO!

Well done everybody, let's hope the date matches up!
And more thanks to Molly for solving the GRO index mystery.

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01tyy/ - cannot find the 1991 death entry on FreeBMD with that surname perhaps the surname has been mistranscribed 

Eva May Brijoa, buried 12 September 1991.
I can't find her in the free index on ancestry, England & Scotland, Select Cemetery Registers, 1800-2024.
There is though Eva May Rrlisa, possibly buried the same date, but they say at Philips Park! That could be wrong though! Age is indexed as 62 (born 1929)

Brijoa, Rrlisa, surely can't be right...

There is a death for a person with the same first and middle name in 1991 Stockport but wrong surname 

Do you mean Eva May Briscoe, age 62?
There is a death notice for Eva in the Manchester Evening News, 11 September 1991, mentioning lots of family.
It says she is going to be buried at Gorton Cemetery on 12 September, at 2.45pm...

Yes well done Molly! 

Jon that was the death entry I referred to even though deceased I didn’t mention her name as I wasn’t sure if there was a connection to Alan.
