	Unfortunately most death certs only contain the name age and currrent residence of the deceased... not much help. The age is how old the informant thought the deceased was.... Maiden Name was included from 1953 and Date of Birth after 1969... As a result I have very few death certs. Linda

	no, probably not, but it would say how old they were ( or at least how old the person reporting the death thought they were)
