all you have to do is google!
So what’s on the Scottish death certificate? It’s an extensive list. There are the standard statistics, such as the name, age and sex of the deceased, and place, date and time of death. But you also find his occupation, cause of death (including how long the last illness lasted and the name of the doctor), residence, where he was born, his spouse’s name, his parents’ names and occupations (also whether they were alive or dead), and finally the names of any children and, if they’d died, when. For the first five years after 1855, the certificate even listed the place of burial. With a couple of exceptions, all those remained on the certificates.

Kate, if you mean on an English or Welsh death cert, then if it is a child or unmarried woman it should say the father's name on it, but if a man or married woman or widow, then it won't. Well, if the informant was a parent then it might say that.KiteRunner
