I have just looked at my cousins family tree online, and it says that Henry orchover born abt.1874, died in Stepney, and then it has these numbers next to it, can anyone decipher what they mean?

Hester.
You probably putting her name in the search box.this only looks at the Freebmd indexes.Ancestry is a sponsor of Freebmd and uploads its info from time to time as Freebmd updates.
To search the full records you need to be on the first heading ,Home , then span down below the box the Go direct to UK Birth Marriage and Death records. it takes you to another page where you use the first Complete records (up to 1983) .you select the type you are looking for and then it means trawling through on a qtr by qtr by year basis.
You can see why us researchers want some sort of starting date as it could be a long search.
You gave 1957 as her death year so it only meant looking through the 4 qtrs for that year to find the death record.

the death cert wont give where she was born I,m afraid ,not for 1957. It does on later certs though.

Those refs for Henry are his grave refs you would need to know which cemetery he was buried in to find the grave with those refs

thank you so much for all of your help!
Can you tell me if the death cert. will hold any relevant info. or is it not worth getting? thanks

It will give you who registered the death and their address which may help you further.

Thanks, i am presuming that it would have been either my grandfather or one of his siblings who registered the death, they have all passed away now too.
