Does anybody know where or if records are availble anywhere. I'm have been trying to find out.
I have many grandmothers/mine/cousins/ whose DOB are not known who died in 1950's. Appreciate there is a declared age on the death cert which is very often not accurate. Just a thought that the NI and NHS numbers would have a date of birth.
:-D :-D

Pretty sure this is confidential Susanne. If indeed they still exist - I would think they have been destroyed by now.
Have you not been able to pin down their births at all?

Whilst you say that you know that death ages on death certs are not that accurate.

Unless the person registering the death had to guess or the person who died lied about their age. You can usually tie down a birth through the process of elimination.

Why not post a few names on here with the year of death and declared age, area where they were born and see if anyone on here can find the births for you.

Quite a canny lot on here, and can usually find something to assist even the trickiest of queries.
