I was having a wee think about Thomas and the information you have just received. (No wise remarks please - about me thinking!!!
)
How was this information found?
If the death date is as you said in your e-mail where was it found, was it an obituary?
If the date is correct (and I have no reason to doubt it) you, or your Dad, should now be able to apply for details. All you need is the proof of death, which this person should be able to provide.
Paul.
