	Is it worth buying a death certificate for someone in 1898 who died in England? As I have the relevant dates, what other information could I glean from a death certificate of that period? Deanna X

	Thank you Kate. It does sound as if it would be worth it. The Scottish certificates do give a lot of information, but I was not sure about the English ones of that period. May be worth the money, thanks again. Deanna X
