Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 54 Send Message	I am trying to find the date of death of my grandmothers brother, John Charles Clements, last known to be living in Halifax 1901 Census. Any ideas. I have try ancestry, BMD and Familsearch.org. Any help would be appreciated.

	How old was he in 1901? Have you any vague idea when he died? Can anyone in the family remember?

	Is he the one born 1890? If so it will be a long hard slog going through the complete death index on Ancestry (not the FreeBMD Index). You will have to look in every qtr. of every year and he could have lived right up to the 1980's. Kath. x

	Kathleen is right!! The BMD indexes only go up to about 1920-ish, so it would be a case of looking through all the quarters from then on.
