Just wondering, have read query about birth reg, was there any penalty for not registering a death? I assume there would be a burial record somewhere but is it possible that there would be no corresponding 'official' registration 1870s? |

Not sure about penalties as such, but I don't think they could hold a funeral without the death being registered? After 1837 in England & Wales, anyway. |

The parish registers have many instances of burials of "stranger found dead" and the like. Are such deaths registered and do they appear in the index? |

Kay - It's true you can't have a burial without a body, but: |

mgnv,that is right for WW1,but its only in recent times that a certificate was started to be issued......and War casualties are another matter from a single cilvil death.and WW1 and WW2 there is no formal registration in the GRO indexes. |

Kay - d.certs for war deaths were first issued for the Boer War. They are indexed, but not in the main series of BMD indexes that Ancestry have transcribed, and FreeBMD are transcribing (FMP has transcribed WW1 deaths at the least). |
