Hi,
I think Tom Bailey`s death may have been registered as Thomas Bailey in Blackpool in Dec. Quarter 1961 aged 70. Stay with me
There was no Tom Bailey death recorded in Blackpool for 1961, but there is a probate entry in 1962 for a Tom Bailey 24 Layton Road Blackpool who died 16th December, 1961 at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, administration granted to Marguerita Bailey Widow. Marguerita dies the year after on 3rd November, 1962 according to the probate register, but her entry is more interesting - Marguerita Bailey otherwise Margaret otherwise Daisy. You should be able to find the full details on Ancestry.
