Identifying a Matthew Lynch, Nottinghamshire death, 1965

[ClareDeepTies]

Hello, I'm looking for information on a Matthew Lynch born in County Meath, Ireland, in 1896. He served in the British Army in WWI and lived in England for decades. In an index file, England & Wales deaths, 1837-2007, I have found a Matthew Lynch who died in Nottinghamshire in 1965. I don't know of any ties to Nottinghamshire. How can I find out more about this Matthew Lynch, to see if he is the one I am looking for?

Thank you, Neale and Geoff! Yes, the Matthew I am looking for was born in Kells, Meath, Ireland, in 1896 and lived in London and Manchester (that I know of).

I'm trying to complete the online form to obtain a death certificate from Nottinghamshire as Neale helpfully suggested. I'm having trouble filling out the online form with my US mobile number, which they require. +1xxx-xxx-xxxx and any variation of that, with or without spaces and/or parentheses, seems to be rejected. Any suggestions?

Looks as if he was in Kent in 1937.
