I think the early ones I have tend to have the words "uncertified" on them as they did not require a doctor to certify the death.

It may not have a professional description of the condition - mine have stuff like, "Old age, ill these last 11 months" on them

suppose this one will be the same heather, im relly hoping its the right one the age at death matches the the birth year so im hopefull, i ordered from preston and they are good with the family history stuff she did ask what his occ upation was and luckily i knew from his daughters marriage cert, the lady on the phone said if there is a prob they will let me know.
