I know William Eastaugh died on 11th August 1866, age 68, in Wangford, Suffolk, as I have a newspaper article relating to the inquest into his death. I also have his burial details from the Parish Records Collection. I would love to get a copy of his death certificate, but so far I have been unable to find an entry for his death in the records.
I've tried different spellings of his name, tried wild cards, tried without using a christian name, searched over a couple of years etc. etc., all without success.
Can anyone suggest what else I can try?
Many thanks,
Valerie.

I suppose he could have been a William George, but none of my paperwork actually shows the 'George' bit.
I agree everything seems to fit apart from the quarter of registration. Dying in August should show him registered in the Jul-Aug-Sept quarter.
If I don't get anything else, it may be worth sending for the above certificate, simply to rule it out, if nothing else. I'll hold off for a while though.
Thanks for your efforts; much appreciated.

the only one I can see is this one -

Interestingly, there are some trees in ancestry that look as if they have him, if born Darsham, and his siblings and parents, but no death date :-S

Is his wife Mary who died in 1858? -

Thanks for your input Choccy. William definitely died in Wangford (the Angel Inn to be precise, where he fell through a trap-door in the hay loft and died!!) and the details you give from the Parish Records are the same as I have.

Yes, Joy Kentish Maid, it is all a tad confusing. William was born at Darsham and it's somewhat conforting (if that's the right word) to know that other members have him but without a death date, too.

Yes, Joy, that is William's wife.

Unfortunately sometimes a death is not registered; this happened - or rather, did not happen - in the case of a great-grandfather of mine. I have his burial record from the parish register but the death was not registered, this having been checked by the local registrar.

I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with the information that I have.
The Parish Records gives all the basic information and the newpaper articles gives me the cause of death (and a lot more besides), so I'm pretty lucky to have gathered so much details anyway.
Thanks for all your help folks.
