Burial details are not recorded on a death cert........the cert gives info about the death only. Reg

Thanks - I thought so. What details do you get is it the same as on a marriage cert? Not sure how I'll find out where he's buried! Thanks for your help.

Death cert gives name of deceased and when and where s/he died, cause of death, details of informant of death - but it doesn't always state the relationship. Male deaths give occupation. Female deaths state whether the woman was a wife or widow and then give details of husband's occupation. To find a burial, you need to check the parish burial registers for the relevant parish(es). These generally give date of burial and name and age of deceased, and sometimes a parish, if they are from a different one from where they are buried. Later on, more churchyards were full, so you can get a list of cemeteries and crematoria and contact details from the relevant local council website. Some websites have searchable databases; other places charge to do look ups. Some burials are on the NBI (National Burial Index) and many of these are on www.familyhistoryonline.net. This is a payperview site, so check that the parish(es) and times you want are covered in the list of databases first. nell

The info is: Name Age Date of Death Cause of Death Place of Residence Name of Informant You might be lucky and get his burial place from the NBI.................there are GR members offering lookups (just use the search box at the top) Reg

Thanks for your help, all very useful stuff...Fingers crossed. Regards, Naomi
