In 1970 there was a marriage of a Anthony F Archer and a Carol A Pilkington in Warley, Worcs.  It might, or might not, have been him but I have yet to decide it is worth £11 to buy the marriage certificate.

This death index on FindMyPast looks like him even though his second name is wrong, but giving a birth date which agrees with the above date from Burke:

The GRO online index confirms FindMyPast’s naming:

Name:                         Year of Birth:  
ARCHER, ANTHONY FRANCIS       1907  
GRO Reference:  DOR  Q3/1993 in SOUTH-EAST SURREY  (7602A)  Reg 5B  Entry Number 18

His probate gives his full set of forenames, a death date of 25 July 1993 and a death place in Surrey so it looks like the death index is talking of him, albeit with an incorrect second forename.

Ordering his will would almost certainly show if any surviving wife and children were around, if I can order it.

Will notes for Anthony Fox Skeffington Smyth Archer
His probate index (from the gov.uk site!):

1993
Anthony Fox Skeffington Smyth
Of Park Hill Brokes Rd Reigate Sy
died 25 July 1993  Administration with will  Bristol 22 December £32000  9351412283B

Admin so hardly worth ordering unless it is useful to know who was the administrator.
But there is a will, so order it.
