Hi
Am I right in thinking that if the HSCIC release information about a person on the September 1939 register, then the GRO has provided proof that that person is deceased? Does the HSCIC release info about people on the register who are still living? Or is info released about all people residing at a certain address, irrespective of whether one is still alive? This is from the HSCIC site:
"2. Data will be provided, as recorded on the 29 September 1939, only where the individual is now recorded as deceased. Where an individual is not recorded as being deceased, the information will not be disclosed unless the applicant can produce clear evidence which establishes that a death has taken place.
3. The date of the death notification (if recorded before the commencement of the NHS on 5 July 1948) will only be provided if specifically requested." So does this mean when I apply for a record from the register, I can also ask for a date of death if that person has died since 1948 but I'm not sure of the exact date?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm rather baffled and many thanks.
