  • Death Certificate Information UK

    From the department of internal affairs, New Zealand you can purchase a printout copy of the registration of a death rather than a death certifcate. This contains far more information than is produced on a certificate.
    Is it possible to purchase the equivalent in the UK ,maybe from the Office where the death was registered or is the only document available a death certificate?
    Many thanks:p

    For England and Wales the only doc available is the certificate, available either from the GRO or the local office where the event was registered- it is a copy of the registration entry so no more info would be available in any case. In Scotland I think you can purchase digital copies online which don't count as official certificates so cost a little less, but still hold the same info as the certificate.

      Is there some particular info you are after that you dont think will be on the certificate? I only ask as I have been quite suprised at how much info was on some more recent death certs compared to ones I'd previously gotten for earlier deaths... (ie, 1980's compared to 1920's)

        I am trying to find out about my OH's family whom emigrated from Brightside Bierlow, Sheffield to New Zealand, having changed the family name in the process! I ordered a death certificate for a William Glover who died in 1890 in Sheffield but it doesn't tell me where he was born, or his next of kin so it is difficult to decide if I have the certificate for the right man. I just wondered if there was any way of finding out some more information so I can tie up some loose ends.
        Neither of us has contacts in Sheffield at all so we don't have any local knowledge at all. I have tried the a couple of the sheffield cemetary online searches but so far nothing.
        Many thanks
