today my daughter went to visit a locall cemetry in search of her nana's brother who died aged 5. she found him unmarked. how would she find his death certifcate and an she view them without buying them? also how much do they cost if she chose to buy it?

julie phone your dad he will tell you howiexx

it's me gang, using mum's account. was just wondering though thats all :)

Hi Julie You can only get the information from a certificate by buying it which will cost £7 (I assume you are in Engand or Wales). To send off for the certificate you will need the GRO reference. Depending on when this person died, there could be a couple of different places to obtain this from. 1837online will be the best bet but this is pay per view and you would need to know an approximate year or it would be very expensive. FreeBMD has the index for free but not much after 1910 so as I said, it will depend on when the person died. Sam

he died in may 1944 i know his name, age, address at the time will have a peep on bmd

i've had a look on that website, but there are no matches comming up on there any other suggestions ??

Hi Julie If you give me his details -full name and year of death I will look it up for you Tammy

his full name is albert hayward his year of death was 1944 he was 5 years old when he died

To Julie I have looked at April/May/June 1944 - he is not there and I have looked July/August/September and he is not there either. Sorry Tammy

thanx for trying though, can't understand why can't find him on anything though thought he would be somewhere

Could he be a half brother with a different surname? If you know which church's vicar/priest is likely to have officiated at his funeral sevice, you may find the entry in their parish records. With the correct surname you should be able to get a death certificate.

thanks gwyneth this is the real julie anne today my daughter came on last night to ask , shes 18 and out of the blue went looking for my uncles grave, albert (my uncle) was 5 when he died and its highly unlikely he had different surname, he was the baby, and nana only had eyes for my grandad though he didnt deserve it, she wasnt allowed to go to the funeral or the grave ever as he felt it to upsetting for her, albert died of pneumonia we were told by my mum , grandad was a nasty man right up till the day he died, and he out lived my nana by a good number of years , remarried too, he was also a cruel man, my daughter wanted to find alberts grave as its unmarked it would be nice to give him flowers, then she came on idea what if he didnt die of pneumonia! thanks for your advice , well let you know if we find out any more , maybe try registry office , thanks all for your help
