I am hoping to apply for my grandfather's death certificate and, since he died less than 50 years ago, expect to do this by post rather than on-line. Has anyone actually done this without extra hassle if you don't know the date but you do know the quarter and year?

Certificate ordering service Welcome to the General Register Office for England and Wales online ordering service The General Register Office (GRO) holds a central copy of all registrations for England and Wales. Local Register Offices also hold records of events registered in their area. For recent events registered within the last 18 months, applications for certificates should be made to the Register Office in the district where the birth, death or marriage took place.
