Hi Clare,
>leslie philip BURGESS Born 1900 - 1930 Died 1985
Do you know exactly where the death and/or burial occured? I've just checked 1837online, and there are only two Leslie BURGESS deaths in 1985. One's a Leslie Charles recorded October, the other's just recorded as Leslie in November, Grimsby district. If you can find the death record on 1837online, you should be able to establish date of birth, which should give more leads about parents, etc.
>cecil AVIS Born 1900 - 1920 Died 1970
Just one likely death recorded between Jan 1970 and Mar 1971:-
Deaths, Apr-Jun 1970
Cecil Thomas AVIS: Sutton district, Volume 5e Page 505
DOB 3 Je 1910
This corresponds with a birth record in Jul-Sep 1910
Cecil T AVIS registered in Bromley district Vol. 2a Page 527
I'd say it's definitely worth paying a visit to http://www.col.statistics.gov.uk/ to order the two above certificates, which should give more indication as to whether it's the correct Cecil AVIS. The birth certificate should then give parent's names, and possibly an address too.
