I need some advice please. I want to obtain DC for above. There are 3 possibles date wise. Is there a way to find out the name of the spouse on the certificate so that I can order the correct one?

Thanks a lot for any info.

Is 1844 his birth or death date? Where did he die?

1844 is his birth date. I've found him on the census up to 1911 in Edworth, Beds, where most of the family were born. The only possible dates (I think) for his death are in Hackney (where his daughter lived).

Joan,

Unfortunately I don't think that it is possible to discover the precise details of a death certificate without first purchasing a copy of the certificate.

Also unless the person who registered the death was indeed the individuals spouse (The relationship of the register-er to the deceased will be shown) certificates at that time did not contain details of any family relationships.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Thanks Jonesey. This is one of the most difficult ones I've had. I think his wife actually pre-deceased him. It seems reasonable to assume he may have been with one of his children when he died. This creates another problem - he had 13 in living in various places!
