Please does anyone know from what year the age of death started to appear in the death registrations, (bmds). I am finding a lot of my relatives on the cemetery records on the Manchester Gov website, but a lot of them unfortunately are buried in paupers graves, so cant link them with any other family members. Need to search the bmds to perhaps narrow it down with age if I can.

Thanks a lot

Death Certificates: In 1837 a death had to be registered within 8 days, this was reduced to 5 days in 1875. At the start of 1866, the indexes to deaths give the age of the deceased at death.
