Has anyone had a search done for a certificate at the GRO I had this email from them to day and wondered if I had to write in for a said search. |

Hi Jane I have been looking for this death for six years other people have looked I can't find it at all he must have died away from where he was living, I have bought a few wrong certificates. So I thought if they searched I might be lucky thanks |

Unless GRO check the details on each certificate ( I don't think they do, do they?) wouldn't they only be looking at the same lists that others here can check? |

Thank you Kay and Gwyn so they do not check details of the certificate you are looking for. What is the point in paying £11..50, I have looked myself and many people have looked for me I also have had a search done at the local office where he lived. It just must have been a death that escaped being registered. |

Hi Gwyn. I beleive he died in the UK this was back in 1889-1891 don't think he would have been out of the country but might have been working away from home or in hospital have checked all the cemeteries in the area he lived no record of a burial. I have checked earlier records but with correct age for him I am at a loss. |

Margaret, what have you got for him? If you give me as much info as poss I'll see if I can find him. I realise others have tried and failed and no doubt I will too but I'm willing to have a go. |

I had a problem with one of my ancestors death. Much later an uncle died and among his papers was a funeral card for this person giving the actual date of his death. He died in Folkstone although lived in London. He was convalescencing from an illness. I did get there in the end but never would have checked this death record. Good luck, Irene |
