I find the death certificate to be the most useless of all certificates!! |

Actually, Alex, I think Ericthered and I are both right, or both wrong! I was just looking at my death certificates. One for my gt. grandfather in 1894 doesn't give his wife's name, only the person reporting the death who wasn't related. |

That's interesting Ericthered, her husband William Nicholson was alive then in 1853 so this could give proof that I have the right person. |

If the death is of a woman who has been married, it will state that she is the wife - or widow - of (husband's name) |

You get the date and place of death and the cause but you don't necessarily get any family member's names, only the name of the person reporting the death. |

I've never sent for a death certificate before and wondered what sort of information you could get from one? |
