Thank you Peter and Rose for your advices. I will put 'Westr' in district to order it in GRO online soon. I hope they will accept it. Peter, yes he lived in Westminster with his wife, Hester and two sons William and Richard, according to 1841 census. Regards, Steven.

Clicking on Westr in FreeBMD gives the following: ''The district Westr is an alternative name for Westminster St Margaret and it is in the county of Middlesex'' Rose

I see what you mean. Westminster seems likely. Where did he live? Was it in that area?

I am planning to order my gggg grandfather Thomas Waters' death certificate from GRO online. I found his registration from FreeBMD. Deaths Sep 1841 WATERS Thomas * 1 291 So I looked up an image for district that was Westr. Which one Westr or Westminster should I put it for district? Thanks, Steven from Australia.
