  • how do I order a Marine Death certificate?

    Can anybody tell me if I can order a Marine Death certificate from the GRO with minimal information?

    Thanks to Uncle John, the only info I can give is George Taylor Age 48 Died 1878. Orontes page 289.

    Is this sufficient information and if so, how do I fill in the necessary info if I do not have a GRO ref. Number. Did try e mailing them but just got an automated reply refering me to the FAQ page which I did not understand.
    Thanks for any replies.

    You can order in online from the GRO, the same as you order any other certificate.

    However, on the first page where you normally tick the box for birth, marriage or death certificate, you will see another option for Overseas certificate. When you tick that box you will be taken to a slightly different page which will accept the registration details that you have.

    (You still tick the box that says you have the GRO reference.)

    Cost of certificate is £7 - same as any other.

      If you click on "overseas deaths" and give the year, it has a GRO ref box so I suppose you can try putting Orontes 289 in it and seeing if it accepts it.

        Many thanks Elaine and Little Nell

        Will do that. Did get so far through the form last night but was unsure of what I was doing, so I thought I would check with you good people. Also, didn't want to have to pay over £7 if I could help it!!!

        Thanks again Lesley.

          I had no difficulty with just the name, ship, year and page number. The certificate layout is also a bit different from a normal death certificate.

            Uncle John.......have order the cert. as per instructions from Elaine. It seems to have gone through OK. Time will tell!!!! I couldn't find anywhere to put the name of the ship so fingers crossed! Dispatch date is the 12th Dec. so no too long a wait.

              Name year and page should be fine, Lesley.
