Family have said she was ill last autumn and that coroner had confirmed natural causes. Sounds like a congenital heart defect.

Amazing @YoungWillz, cheers! The only Kenneth Packwood in the GRO is for 1941–43 is a Kenneth P. Packwood, born in Brentford in 1942. Ancestry: Kenneth Peter Packwood b. 21 Jan 1942, d. Dec 2003 in Surrey. Could be the Lord Rockingham / Billy Fury guitarist, but can't find any Norfolk link the records. I've put c. 1942 for now. Will keep searching though, thanks.

"L" is up Missing info for: The Lancastrians – all four members, a total nightmare to trace this band The Lemon Pipers – just one member, the British one who had a breakdown and became a recluse Little Tony & his Brothers – just one brother The Locomotive – all five members The Long and the Short – 3/5 members Lord Rockingham's XI – missing info for 5/13 of the session musicians Patti Lynn – probably the most obscure chart artist I've come across so far. Literally nothing out there on her! Just F, M and S to go.

Not as dead as this forum is without ppl posting something vaguely relevant to ageing/deaths when there's a dry spell.

Frankie Valli is 86 today. Napoleon XIV is 82. Mary Hopkin is 70.

Sedney again please!

Actually, ignore the last two. I think they're likely to be this person instead.

I don't know how much you can see but I'll tell you what's there on full access: Khamouan Boupha Khamouane Boupha Kampheng Boupha Khan Ouane Boupha Kham Ouane Boupha All given as alternative spellings in the listings of the same individual. One of the bios says born 1919, not 1923 as listed on Wikipedia. These listings come from the book Who's Who in the World (Marquis(TM)). The last one Boupha appears in is the 18th edition in 2001 so either the book went out of print or she died. Hope this helps in your search!

Tun Tin, former PM of Burma (1988) dead at 99.

@drol, send me the Ancestry link and I will have a crack at it for you.

Yeah same actually. It's amazing how much YouTube has in comparison to say 10–15 years ago. I think to date, there's only 2 charting songs of the 50s/60s I can't find on there! I imagine they'll have every 70s/80s/90s/00s charting record though.

Thanks! I've added it now

Interesting interview with the Countess of Mar, 80 in September. She just retired from the House of Lords and as such there are no remaining female hereditary peers. There were 5 of them left after the reforms in 1999 but 4 of them died and were replaced by men.

In the UK, there has been an increase in children suffering from Kawasaki disease during the pandemic. Nobody knows what the link is. Indeed the causes of Kawasaki disease are not even known in the first place. Anyway, Tomisaku Kawasaki, the Japanese doctor who first described the condition in 1960, is still alive and turned 95 in Feb.

Bianca Jagger is 75 today.

Jacques Rogge, President of the IOC (2001–2013), turns 78 today.

Engelbert turns 84 today.

Luis Suárez is 85 today. Regarded as one of Spain's greatest ever players.

Bunk Gardner, a member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention is 87 today

Édouard Balladur, French PM (1993–1995) is 91 today.

Hmm could've been several of these. Weren't there Brits stuck on the Coral Princess?

As is Kenny Rowe. Tom's birthday is 14 Feb. Can't find a year. Nothing on Kenny's. Ray Brown was born in Hayes, Middlesex in 1944 as per this. Edit: 15 Oct 1943 in Hertford according to this.

Spent some time trying to find DiVito through Ancestry and just had another skim but sadly zilch. There's too many of them as it's quite a common surname in NJ/NY. And spelling is problematic too. There are individuals on there that have their name spelt interchangeably as DeVito, DiVito, Di Vito etc. between different records. Also I'm wary that Ralph could be a nickname rather than a birth name.

Closest result on Ancestry is an Edward Blackford James b. 12/11/1948 Santa Cruz, Cali. Probably him but not strong enough to add IMO. I've put c. 1948 for now. Cheers!

Guido Münch, 98, Mexican astronomer and astrophysicist.
