Find Ancestors

Hi
I need to order my grandads death cert so I can order his army records for my dad. I thought it would be a nice gift after he was told his cancer has spread.
I know this type of look up is easy for most but i have done any family tree stuff for a long time I've forgot where to go and what to do.

His name is john george Cowe d.1983 I believe.he died in devon.

Could you also give a link on where I would order the cert from please. Thank you

Is this the right one?

Yes thank you so much once I can escape a sleeping baby i will order that thank you.

Iused to be ok at this but babies get in the way and I've forgotten where to look etc. Thank you.

ArgyllGran It is Dorothy Richardson as it says his next of kin is Dorothy Cowe.

Thanks, Mel - I won't bother submitting a correction to Ancestry, as they already have the right person in the other records they suggest for her - birth, death, and 1901 census.

Sorry to hear your father's cancer has spread. It might be an idea to include a letter to that effect when you send for the military records.
They can often taken a number of months to arrive, but the MOD might fast track your application if there's a narrowing 'window'.

Ok I will try that when I send off for it thank you.
