Good afternoon Detective, Thank you for replying to my post. I have uploaded the cert to Keepsafe, now not sure what to do with it. I'm being really dumb here. Are you able to give me a step by step guide as what to do now ie which box to click. I am not getting an url to copy and paste. As above I think I am being really dumb.

Kind regards

Kathryn

By all means send a PM - you could also enlarge then upload into 'My Keepsafe'. Open it to everyone then copy and paste the url here.

Good morning, can anyone help please? I have received a copy of my GG Death Certificate in the post today. I have difficulty in deciphering the writing in relation to the place of death which looks like HM Frigate "Ireland", Chatham and two letters after Chatham,also the cause of death. It may well not be HM Frigate as it actually states H.M. Frig then what looks like Ireland, Chatham then two letters. I haven't begun to try and decipher the cause of death and that's with my glasses on. GG was a Naval Stoker from Chatham, Kent. If someone is able to decipher the ship can you please let me know where I might find a picture of the same? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, where might GG have been buried please? If anyone can help then I'll PM a copy of the death certificate.

Kind regards

Kathryn
