I'm helping my (birth) brother with his family history and I'm getting really frustrated because I can't find the death of his grandfather. He's pretty certain that he is dead because he doesn't remember him at all from his childhood, whereas he remembers his grandmother well. Also, his Dad told him that his grandfather was killed when he got hit on the head with a cricket ball (of course I realise this could be family lore!).
I think he most likely died between 1943 and 1968 but I've looked, quarter by quarter, right up to 2006 and found nothing.
The surname is DOW and I've looked at both Dow and Daw.
Has anyone got any bright ideas as to why I can't find him, or what other mistranscriptions I could try?
Thanks
