Can any of you experienced researchers help me....
First, is there a more effecient way of finding dates of death, other than trawling through the entire register quarter by quarter ? I have no idea when my grandparents died, and it could be between about 1930 - about 1950 (give or take a few).
Also, is there a way of tracking all children from the parents ? Following a previous tip on here, I tried familysearch.org but had no success.
I'll be grateful for any/all advice.

Tony.

The LDS site (familysearch) covers mainly pre-1837..........although not exclusively.

For recent info, which is what you seem to be looking for, there is no way other than ploughing through the bmd images.

freebmd is up to about 1915 now........always worth checking out.

Hi Tom. Thanks for the offer.
My grandparents are Ernest Thomas French (born 4th Q 1895 - Richmond, Surrey) and Daisy Watson (born Lambeth 4th Q 1898). Married 4th Q 1918. My father Ernest Albert (and his twin Marjorie) were born 14/01/1925 in Lambeth. There were at least 2 other children about whom I know only their names (Eileen and Fred or Frederick). So far I have applied for his birth cert.
