Hi
I am trying to find the death certificate for my great grandfather. I know he was born Thomas Henry G Denmead in 1885 (Birth registered in Portsea Island). He was a labourer with the Royal Navy and he has service records up to 1927 and was paid his pension. Since that date I have searched for a death record but I cannot find it. I have been through all the burial records and again there is nothing for him.
I am led to believe he went to a mental hospital since being discharged from the Navy due to a medical condition. The family do not speak of him and it is somewhat a mystery as to what happened to him.
Is there any valid reason why I cannot find a death record? Perhaps he emigrated but I doubt it if he was ill/mad!
Are there any records I can search to give me any further clues?
