Thanks, Mike, for your input, however, I am not entirely happy thinking it is Cofton Hackett. I shall look into this further.
I know Alvechurch which is next door to Cofton and I am mindful of the fact that both are Worcestershire, and not Birmingham which was Warwickshire. West Heath has always, to my knowledge, been B31, so I am thinking it is a road that does not exist any more. (I have another address on another death certificate which is a West Heath one and that road does not exist either). Tamworth which is Staffordshire is also a Birmingham postcode, so the postcode is not really much of a clue, except for the fact that where he lived would surely still have a B31 postcode? I know someone who I think may be able to help, but each time I try to contact him he is not there, so might just write a letter as I have several questions for him.
