Hello,=20

 The letter W was replaced with V, not entirely omitted. There is no
 central register of deaths. One has to know the approximate period and
 county where the death was registered to find some information. However,
 regardless the accessibility of information in Estonia, we suggest you to
 contact some London archives or family history specialists to find out =
more
 information about him. If he was your official father, his marriage and =
your
 birth registration must include some information about him (age or date of
 birth). Maybe the inhabitants of London have been listed somewhere,
 especially if he was a foreigner etc etc. Regardless the length of time he
 was in London, he must have been there nine months prior to your birth. So
 ask some London family history specialist if there are lists of =
inhabitants
 of London (or foreigners living there) from that time. Or maybe a =
specialist
 can suggest some other possibilities to find something.
=20
 We believe his name in Estonia was written as Vihman or Vihmann as the
 letter c was usually also omitted in the 1930s. You need to provide us =
more
 information to identify him. For example we found one Hans Vihman, son of
 Hans, who died in 1946 in L=C3=A4=C3=A4ne county. One Hans Vihmann lived =
in Viljandi
 county in 1942. Another (or the same) Hans Vihmann lived in Viljandi =
county
 at least 1933-1944. One Hans Vihmann (maybe the same than the first one)
 lived in L=C3=A4=C3=A4ne county in 1942 etc.

 Hello,
=20
 Thank you again for your prompt response. I am very surprised about the =

 Is there a register of deaths in Estonia? I feel there must be and =
perhaps I could find information about where he is buried from this. My =

anything about him in the UK as I don't know how long he was here.
