No Susie. I'm having the same problem - and I have Internet Explorer 6, so that's not the problem. I think the site can't cope with too many people trying! Janet

i cant even get on the site:(( am i doing something wrong? susie

That's the name that normally appears on death certs Jane. (by the way the reason I asked about 2001 is that's the date 1837 ends.) Bob

Just found my sister on there aswell she died in 1998. Feel rather upset about it. If you put the cursor on the death date it tells in you years and months how long ago they died. All the deaths seem very recent. Sorry if thats already been said, have'nt read all the replys yet. Seeing my sister on there has rather knocked me for six. Why are all the women under their married names? Jane

and so far I have not found any Scottish deaths

Hi everyone, I've just been on the site and it lists my mother under her married name and my father. This is very spooky. Is there any way we can find out who put these names in? Jane

bob not found anything before about 1996 and found nothing at all for my family. Seems very hit and miss

Has anyone found deaths outside of 1983 to 2001? Bob

I've just tried to get on ..and went straight in. I agree that it's a bit strange,but there is a notice on the home page that it was set up for "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0" . If you are not using this version you MAY experience loss of certain functions on the site. I suppose this could mean: not being able to access the site, or not being able to navigate round it! How strange!

Im still trying to get on it..

I have just entered the name of a child that died in 1997. The correct date of birth came up but the date of death was over 2 months out. It has also been entered twice with identical details. Anyone had a reply from the site yet?

Theris no requirement to place death notices. Where there is a substantial estate however, it is standard practice to place a notice in the local newspaper and The London Gazette to protect against late claims. Bob

The 3 photos I saw were not accompanied by names.

At last! I finally got onto the site this morning and can only find one entry for my family but all the others died before 1996. There were no newspaper notices at the time. I have also looked up a wife of a friend and she is on there and I know that there is no way he would ever have put her details in anywhere on the net. The photos I have had appear all look a bit American.

Im a bit puzzled I keep trying and it keeps saying page cannot be displayed? Love Jan x

This site can't be taken form death notices. If that were so, then where do they get the date of birth from. Also the number of names that this site contains (thousands) would mean looking through hundreds of regional newspapers or records. If this site is legit. where are the contact details, the info on where the names were taken from and why would the names of the people who started it (baring in mind it is supposed to be a UK SITE) be foreign!regards Jayne

Stevens such a common name lol... I havent even started research on that side yet... Have found tons of people on that site though..

I think you are right about it not being a legal requirement.. the plot thickens......

It seems very strange that there are 2 identical entries though one in nickname one in proper, I have emailed the site, but nothing yet :(

Hi Bill My step mother is on there also and there was no death notice put in the paper about her... Its all a bit weird
