Help!! I have just tried to order a death certificate from GRO website,using info that I got from 1837. The death was from the March quarter of 1906, but they would not accept the order without the date of death- I am pretty sure that the exact date was not given, but like a fool I forgot to save the page. I have previously ordered older certs using the vol/page number, is it because this is post 1900- do the rules change for that? And was I just being blind at not noting the date of death from the details on 1837. or are they not given?

Ann Very puzzled. I've ordered and received several death certs for the 1900s and had no queries about date of death, just given the GRO reference. Helen

Helen, there did not even seem to be an option to put the vol/page in, and the date of death had a red star against it denoting a compulsory field. I tried submitting it without the date but it would not accept it!!!

Dates of death are not given. I was under the impression it was only for a death in the last 50 years that you needed the exact date. How can they expect you to know the exact date of an event from a century ago?
