The best way to get it opened is to inform the PM with a source of the death.

Have done that, thanks Jelena. Now waiting.
John Landy's profile is now open. He still needs to be connected, which will be difficult given that his wife is living and her profile is Unlisted, and John's parents are unknown.
I have managed to add some ancestry to John. He is still not connected though. Perhaps some others can expand.

I found a passenger manifest where the birthplace and the "race" of John's paternal grandfather is noted. Added that to the profile

Thank you, Paul and Jelena, for your input. I'll keep working on connection.
I found an indirect connection to the global tree through his sister, Patricia (I'm 23 degrees from John Landy through this path).
