	John, Date of death Where death occurred Name of person Sex of person Age of person (in years) Occupation of person Cause of death, including who certified death Signature, description and residence of informant When registered Signature of registrant. Now ................. of all that lot, I think that only the when and where died, sex, cause of death and the last 3 are to be really trusted! The rest ........... name, age, occupation ........ depend on what the informant knew about the person who died, and how accurate the information he/she received was! Despite that, obtaining certificates, any certificate, is the only way to be sure that you are following the correct families! Sylvia
	Researching: My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
