Take a look in the wiki. All the info is there and explains it much better than I could.

Death cert gives:-
When and where person died
Their name and surname
Sex
Age
Occupation
Cause of death
Name and residence of the informant.
In the case of a married woman, it will sometimes give her husbands name and occupation.
It will tell you if the death needed an inquestPam

Thanks Margaret and Pam
how did I miss that in the wiki, cause i've spent loads of time looking at that, it's really useful.
Thanks Pam I didn't know it gave the residence of the informant, I need to order one, but I keep backing out of ordering it, as it seems abit strange. I know i'm being silly
sorry Merry missed your post again while i was typing
it's for 1965, it's for my George Hill family that I posted about the other day, but it's for his wife and I have all her details and it would have been my dad that would have registered the death, I'm still on the hunt for George's death details but as his wife survived him she would have been the informant so will finding Georges death details get me anywhere?Last edited by No shoes; 25-08-08, 13:11.

Only the cert will tell you for sure about anything.

You can't be sure that his wife is the informant unless you get the certificate. It could be another family member or it could be someone else - for instance, the coroner if there was an inquest.KiteRunner
