Actual date from death registration index. Same date in 1939 registration (image on FMP, viewed 2 Sep 2016). Place from the 1921 census.
Gender Male Residence 1939 19, Albert Road, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England - Listed after the Roberts family in the 1939 registration, with whom he was presumably boarding or lodging.
It looks like he didn't live in Shrewsbury for long, though, as he appears to have been back in Stoke on Trent by 1941 when he married there, and his daughter was born there the following year.
He may have returned to his widowed mother after his father died shortly after the 1939 registration.
Occupation 1939 Sheet iron worker - Noted as a heavy worker in the 1939 registration
