Hi all im a little dim lol could someone please explain the death record to me. ya know the death I see theres the date of birth on later ones but next to that theres places is that the place of death or the place of birth? also what do u think the chances of someone being born in 1912 still being alive now? also if a person has say a first name then 2 middle names would they all be on the death record or maybe just the first name? (angie wishfull thinking again lol i so so wanted a nanna lol) Angie x

The town mentioned is where the death was registered sweets. As for could the person still be alive? My Grandma was born in 1904 and still lives on her own!! So yeah its possible they still are. Names used to register the death will depend on what the informant knew about the person that died. Hope this helps Diana xx
