Hello, My grandfather died in the first world war and i have just got his death details from 1837 online, does anyone know if you can order the death certificate, and do you order them in the same way as other certificates ? Christine

Hi Christine Yes, you can; that's how I got my G.Grandfather's cert and he died in Ypres. The certs don't tell you much, but it's nice to have it. Good luck. Patricia

Yes, I ordered my great-uncle's last Saturday and it arrived today. For the first time, I was disappointed in a certificate because it told me nothing new! I thought there would be an informant, and there wasn't. Never mind. Joy

Bob - that's what I thought - about the dates!! also it said my great-uncle died in France, and I know it was on the border of France / Belgium, the place wasn't exact. Joy

I have my G.Uncles death cert which just says died in France from wounds! Guess I need to do more research to find out where although I do now have details of which regiment so that may help. Michele
