I think they have their own records not accessed through the GRO

There used to a member called Jersey lilly who would do look ups. Not sure if she is still a member

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

Not picking up any of her threads through the advanced search

Perhaps someone else can point you in her direction , even if she isn't a member anymore she may do a look up for you if you PM her

You don't say which island he is supposed to have died on.
The islands have separate records so Jersey Lily only looked up Jersey.

sorry I am almost certain it was jersey. He died whilst on holiday and the death is not registered here in UK so can only assume it is registered there.

Here's Jerseylily's thread - no idea if she is still active, but if you go to the thread and click on her name, you can send her a message. As long as she still has the same email address, GR will send her notification
