Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply, i have just found the death of hubby's Great Granddad, I have never had any info on him and there is none to ask, OH only remembered the G Grandmother, I have a copy of the marriage certificate is

25th September 1893 Roman Catholic Chapel, Rutland Place Swansea

Ellen Elizabeth Winter ( age 20) of The Cornish Mount, The Strand Swansea
to
Henry Joseph Murphy (age 30) Master Mariner
On board The steamship City of Hamburg, Prince of Wales Dock, Swansea,

I have the family of Ellen Winter , but he has evaded me, I knew he was buried in Cathays cemetery Cardiff with Ellen ( died 1957) and two of the children today I found out that he was buried 21st August 1931 age 69, with the marriage certificate and his death I can take his birth as being 1861/2/3 , BUT WHERE , hence my enquiry, with the surname Murphy I think I should maybe look towards Ireland I have not been able to find him on any of the census so I can presume he was at sea each time and as he was merchant seaman I dont think they did the census but I am probably wrong, so if anyone can give me a push in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

From a thread of mine that I have just nudged

Since 1 April, 1969, the date and place of birth of the deceased, the usual address and the maiden name in the case of a married woman, are also given.


- the death certificate for 1969 that I just mentioned was for January 1969.

I thought that place of birth and women's maiden names were added to death certificates from 1969.

Hi,

Just to clear up the point Reggie asked, I have a few death certs after 1972 which do have the place of birth.

Not sure when this started though, maybe someone else will know.

Kind regards
Amanda

No, it wouldn't.

I'm not sure that they do even now...........DOB, yes, but place, I think not.

Does anyone know if a 1931 death certificate would have place of birth on it, I believe that more recent ones do have it.

Thanks
