Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1. The records are to be preserved even if they are more than a century old. The babus in the revenue offices do not work unless their palms are greased with illegal gratification. You should engage a local lawyer in Shahjahanpur to trace out the record.
2. If the record cannot be traced despite all efforts then you may execute an affidavit to state so.
Such ild death certificates is quite expectedly not available with Municipality.
However when situation occurs then any of his family members like son/daughter/grandson/grand daughter can swear an affidavit beofre the Magistrate stating his date of death which is considered to be the valid date of his death within the family.
Suhc affidavit is often accepted as valid substitute of death certificate.

You don't need succession certificate for transfer of electricity meter in your name
2)legal heir certificate is sufficient for transfer of electricity meter in your name
3) but you need to enclose death certificate for issue of legal heir certificate
