This may have been asked before but I'll try again.
If a soldier was killed in action in the 1st. World War would there be a death certificate produced in this country, and if so how would I go about getting one, and would they be made out in their home district ?
On my mother's side of my family (Richardson's) I cannot find any death records of who would have been her uncles. I have traced their births and marriages and found them on the 1911 census, but after that nothing. They were all born in the 1880s or 1890s so would have been of serving age for the war. The trouble is that there were more than enough men named Richardson from Lancashire who died and I'm not sure which regiment they would have served in as they were born in either the Preston or Blackburn area and there were several regiments within the Lancashire catchment area.
