There is only one Brentwood in my GB Atlas. I thought I would look incase there was another. Brentwood is Essex as I have family there. Good luck with your research. Irene

Thank you Irene, I don`t know wether to send off for the death cert, I have been thinking the James W. could stand for William and not Whitehead, but the age is correct. Many thanks anyway. Gwyn

If you order the death cert online and put in a check on the name they will only charge you £4 if it is wrong. I do not know if Brentwood Register Office can help, some do not charge if you give them information and it is not the right person they return your cheque. Good luck Irene
