	Can someone please tell me where Birkenshaw is? It turned up on a death certificate and as I am in Australia it's not a place I'm familiar with. Thank you. Susan

	Thank you both. Just trying to place where the informant (a relative) was at the time of my 2 x great grandmother's death. I appreciate your time. Susan

	Well there is a Birkenshaw in England, but there are at least three in Scotland. If you are abroad and don't know your way around the UK then www.streetmap(.)co(.)uk is a good start. Remove brackets from web address.
