Register (free), log in, then "Place an Order".
Quote the details as in the record posted by Shirley.

5f is the Volume number.

Tonbridge is the Registration District.

The cert will cost you £11, and will be sent to you by post.

Had a look on the GRO site

No deaths for the name with no second forename born 1935 from 1985 to 2019.

But.............you need birth year info, which can be deduced from his marriage cert, assuming the info provided is fully accurate
