Octopus of Odstock

And nine months after being told she had terminal pancreatic cancer. Most impressive.

Michael McLean, James Stewart's step-son, died recently from cancer. In honor of Father's Day this week, here's Jimmy with his adopted sons Michael and Ronald, who made him an instant dad when he married Gloria in 1949. Michael passed away last month after a battle with cancer, and Ronald died in action in Vietnam in June 1969. https://t.co/LvYukPqe2a

Thanks Gary, sorry to hear this. Appreciate this as with Geoff living in the Netherlands, it wouldn't have got picked up in the GRO/wills

A friend of hers on twitter seemed to suggest it was a natural death and not suicide, FWIW.

It's the Daily Mail so I didn't want to get too exposed by actually reading it

There is a video with this on Facebook but I can't immediately find it. Here's the stills but the video is more telling I think. Hopefully someone can find it https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10928137/amp/Dick-Van-Dyke-96-says-hes-glad-here.html

Colin Grainger, former Sheffield United and England winger has died. Also had a reasonably successful singing career. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/sheffield-united-pay-tribute-as-blades-announce-the-passing-of-colin-grainger/ar-AAYER4s

I can see the site has been updated for Trintignant's death, but the scoreboard hasn't, or is that a problem that only I can see?

Bertie Wright has died, aged 102. Not sure if it's linked to the lack of proper mask-wearing.... https://twitter.com/Glentoran/status/1538176528709730304

All I could think about when reading this list was mmmm.. fried bacon (Best said in a Homer Simpson drawl...)

I think there's a online French death index somewhere but blow me if I can remember what it's called. I'm sure it's popped up on here before.

The 2nd source is good enough for me, as it even gives place of death. Good work! Just amazed there was nothing in Yugoslav media

The thing is with the probate records is - correct me if I'm wrong - it depends on if it's a joint will or the type of will? GRO has my Grandad dying in 2015, which I can use as a verifiable source.https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp#Results But if I look on probate search only, he's not there at all. https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/search-results it's only when my Grandma died a few years later, that the will was actioned.

Don't think so. I think GRO will tidy this up as the probate search doesn't have every death on there as I have found with other footballers or racers Depends when he died in December if he even makes GRO in 2021 or not... That dead link about his birthday was from Wakefield so I do think it's a different chap.

Yep, link's in the above post. Whilst clearing up a few things, I see Maurice Leather died in 2021 - https://www.football-addict.com/en/article/portsmouth-fc/we-are-deeply-saddened-to-learn-of-the-passing-of-former-pompey-goalkeeper-maurice-leather-aged-91/616c72344794fe0009999897?utm_campaign=rss
