Patrick - as it's too soon to be able to access the public registers, I'd say the only way is to get somone to check the local newspaper. OK it's not conclusive as there's not always a death notice in the paper, but it's worth a try.

Thankyou Reg, very foolish of me, I have amended the message accordingly.

Yes Reg i agree, somebody may know this possibly recently deceased person and be upset/shocked to see the details on a public board, or worse still they may have known the person and not be aware they may have died.... Libby :))

It might be more discreet if you removed the name, and just asked for general guidance............ Reg

You would need to check the death register - but an event as recent as that wouldn't be on the index yet. You could try looking for death notices or contacting someone who knew her. nell
