I've tried to order a death certificate, and gave the GRO reference, volume and page numbers, but had an email saying that nothing was found for the name I'd requested with that information. |

If all else fails, I think you can order it without the reference number. |

Thanks Andy. That's the info I gave, and had a message back saying 'There is no trace of the above mentioned person at the reference you quoted.' Arghh, back to the drawing board! |

If it was me I would be ringing the local register office explaining what the GRO have said. I would ask if they would mind checking their records giving his name and that he died Sept 1984. |

If you search for any death using the same year/month and ref numbers, none of the images are available to view |

Did you put any information other than what Andy has posted above? If you did and any was even slightly incorrect your request will be rejected. |

In 1974 they changed the volumes for Thurrock and other Essex districts from 4a to 9. |

FreeBMD only aim to transcribe the printed indexes, which only go thru 1983. After that, they're all computerized. |
