If after you've given the GRO - the year, the quater, the volume number and the page no, for the death cert you need. They say there is no trace of the person on that reference. What would be the reason for that. |

Make sure you look at the original index not just the transcript on freebmd / ancestry etc as mistakes do happen. |

Are you certain that on the online form you have ticked the "deaths" and not births. I know I've seen other people who have done this by mistake. |

Kathleen is right - you have to be spot on. I slipped up once by being 1 digit out with ref. number! Check and check again. Really easy to make a mistake. |

Thanks for all your suggestions, I have double checked my information and it is correct and I definately asked for a death cert, as the email I was sent saying they couldn't find the person I was asking for mentions death cert. |

Do you want to put the person's details on here and some one will check the registration to see if it tallies with what you have? |

The person I am looking for is Ellen Edith Page died sometime after 1930 in Suffolk/Essex. The one I found was one who died in 1934 - death registered in Colchester. I was just sending for the cert to comfirm that this was the Ellen Page in my tree. |

Thanks Chris - That is the reference I used to get the cert I put the name down as Ellen Page without including the E so I don't know if that made any difference as to why they could find that person on that ref |

another reason to use local register offices if you can. All the ones I have used have been very helpful and searched free, only charging if they find the record I want. GRO are raking in a fortune! |

There are a few Ellen Pages on FreeBMD but your one is only 29 years old - presumably this age fits in with the information you have? |

Yes that age fits with my Ellen Page as she was born in 1905 |
