Birmingham Central Library
Bridgend Reference and Information Library
City of Westminster Archives Centre

If you know the name of the town the person lived in, look for the local paper on line and search the obituaries, you may just be lucky.

You might find the person listed there in Death Announcements.

Sorry but those records arent online or not intended to be. I think the powers that be have said the records from 2006 wont be made available for BMD.s

You would have to apply to the local Register Office for a death cert so would need to know where the person lived and died.

Think you would have to know exactly where the person died and then contact the local Registrars Office. And in many cases for recent deaths you have to provide a substantial reason for wanting a copy of a death cert. To avoid fraud.

May be wrong but some more recent deaths take around 1 year to appear on Official sites. :-S
