  • Ordering death cert from GRO

    I have found a death on Ancestry and want to order the cert, but am a bit confused as to what to put in the GRO reference boxes.

    This is the info regarding the death -

    Death: Jan 2002 - aged 89
    Reg. District: North Shropshire
    Inferred County: Shropshire
    Register No. - 20C
    District & sub district - 7132
    Entry 53

    The bit I'm confused about is, what goes in

    District Name & No. ??
    Entry Number - 53
    DOR (I assume this is 01/2002)

    Where do I put the Register No. ??


    Thanks for your help.

    I think the district name is North Shropshire and the District No is Register No. but I haven't ordered a recent one so not certain.

      No, sorry, that doesn't make sense, does it, because of the district and sub-district.

        I think if you order a more recent death you'll get a different form which will hopefully make it clear what goes where.

          Might be easier to order from the local register office.

            The form for 2002 deaths does have the boxes that Jules mentioned, that's what's confusing about it. And I can't see anywhere on their site that explains what you put where.

              Thanks Kite.

              Little Nell - Just checked the form and age at death must be given where event was registered in last 50 years, and certs are not available via this site for events registered within the last 18 months - thanks anyway.

              It will probably be easier to ring Southport to obtain the cert.

              Thanks again.

                Thanks Margaret, maybe better to try Shrewsbury instead of Southport.

                    I ordered one online recently
                    My reference was...

                    Registration district: Sglos
                    Register number: B3
                    District and Subdistrict: 3041B
                    Entry Number: 77

                    I just put 77 in the last line and put the register number and district number on the line above that, with a space between.
                    Cert. arrived within a few days.
