If there is one at all, it's more likely to be in a local paper, not all of which are available online. Again, there wouldn't be one unless the deceased was a local worthy or the family paid for one. Obits and death notices aren't the norm in the UK. Please remember that although the person of interest died in 1955, there are likely to be living relatives who may not welcome having their family member named on the internet. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/

Elaine It may be worth trying the hospital archives (see http://tinyurl.com/yzk8lpb ). This link will give you information on all records held for many of the London Hospitals. Good luck!
