Don't know what you're referring to, malyon.

The man's name was Harold Sydney Wall, as per all postings, and there is, as you must know, an allowance of 6 weeks for births to be registered

dont under stand if harold died 1998 why is he in electrol list in
bexhill

his father was harold A wall

If he's still living in Bexhill, he's 103 years old.

(Not impossible).

Pamela, does the probate you purchased confirm that the Harold who died in 1998 was May's husband, and was born 1916?

There does seem to have been only one Harold S Wall born 1916-1983, and only one married a May.

In which year - precisely - is the name on the ER?

And is the man’s age on the record?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 15 Jul 2019 18:49

Good questions, Erika.

As I said on the other thread, on 192.com there's no date given for Harold.
His address on 192.com is "Based on Companies House".

This would mean he hasn't been at that address for some time, nor has he opted out of the public ER.
Therefore he has died.

May is there per 2002 Electoral Roll.

No age given for Harold on 192.com, at least not without credits.

Hmmm - this is the GR record, with address removed:

Well, it can't be correct, as we've already seen the other Companies House record saying that he retired.
Although it gives a year range below his name, it doesn't give a year for his residence at that address..
The GR record is also taken from 192.com's record, so I think that somehow Harold's name has never been removed - maybe because he seems to have died abroad??
If nobody told the ER authorities, maybe they assume he's still there?

As has already been pointed out, his supposed address on the ER is the same as the address on the Companies House record.
Many of the other people listed on the Companies House record are also at xxxxxxx House, but with different numbers.

I wonder if they've all been residents, and therefore nominal directors.

Aha!

Looking further into the Companies House record, there's this:

https://tinyurl.com/yyet67dj

It says Harold stopped being a director because of death on 8 July 1998.

DOB 28/5/16

Unfortunately it doesn't say where he died.


EDIT:
I don't think that tinyurl link works.

Try this:

See the PDF dated 18 Feb 1999.

Mrs M Wall was still listed as a "member" (and therefore a resident) on 7 May 2004, but she's not listed on 7 May 2007.

M Wall was still there at 7 May 2008, but not in any year after that.

I don't know why she wasn't listed in 2007.
