Wikipedia keeps categories for notable persons' deaths in every year. Looking through the listings for 1941 may help you spot some authors you know.

There's also a Canadian site which specifically lists all the slated-to-be-eligible Life+50 creators every year, but I've quite forgotten where it was and it's not applicable to your region anyway.

ETA: This may also help. Virginia Woolf will be one of the big ones, and there's a bunch of other middling-important types (James Frazer of Golden Bough fame, IIRC).

ETA #2: Here's the Life+50-applicable site for anyone who's interested. They haven't put up a listing for 2012 yet, though.
