Hi, Could any tell me, if you look at parish records can you find information about deaths, even if you can't find a death certificate. thanking you Margaret |

I don't know about recent deaths but parish records from the 1800's certainly contained information about deaths |

Parish registers record details of burials. Since registration of deaths came in burials can't take place without a death certificate but its worth a look because the reason you can't find the cetificate may be a mistranscription whilst the name is correct in the burial register.Judith |

Hi Kathleen, so do you think that would be the case in the late 1800. Margaret |

Hi Judieth, I do not know why I can't find a death cert. not for the want of trying so I am going to look this week at the parish record hoping I might find something because without this death cert. I have not got a clue how old he was. Margaret |

Hi Margaret, What I should have said was that parish records give information about burials and not deaths, but as burials were usually carried out within 4 or 5 days of a death in those days (sometimes sooner), you can work out an approximate date of death. |

The ones I looked at last week gave the age. The older ones also said "son of John and Ann Smith" or "wife of Fred Brown". |
