Specifically trying to find out how i could get a copy of my grandmothers death cert. The most I know is that she died in Kennington, about 1988.
I am in dublin, and would like to know if there is anyway I could check this online, or who should I write to.
Thanks
Hi,
If you want you could put the details on the board and some one might be able to locate the death registration and one you have that you can apply to the Public Records Office either by mail or on the net.

PS I hear that the flousey in the jacuzzi has gone?
1837 on line will give you the information you require and you will be able to get the cert from them. www.1837online.co.uk

Having been through this myself, its great fun but time consuming. The best place I found (but it is down the road from me) is the Family Records Office in London in Finsbury.
www.familyrecords.gov.uk - not sure if they do much online but give them a buzz from their number on the website.
Good luck.
If you go to to 1837online website you can get the details and then ask the Office for National Statistics to send you a copy for the fee.
You will find the Public Records Office is now The National Archives, Kew, but has no birth, death or marriage certificates apart from from some British Embassies and consulates overseas.
As Spike writes, if you post the details on this message board, someone might look up the details for you.
As Docroguetrooper writes the best website for ordering the certificates is the Family Records one. The cost on-line is Β£11 a certificate and it takes around 28 days to arrive.
Alternatively, you can look at the Birth/marriage/death index on either the Ancestry or Freebmd websites. These will provide you, free of charge, with the reference of the records (if on the database) and which will enable you to post an application for a copy on the Family Records site.
I hope that helps
To order online, the GRO are best - only Β£7 and takes a few days.
www.gro.gov.uk
Good luck!

If you obtain the year, Quarter, Volume & Page, the above site will cost Β£7 and arrive 4/5 working days later. If you post the info on here, someone wil look it up for you. Or you can look yourself.
If you know your grandmother's date of birth, then you could check for the correct certificate using www.1837online.com There are only 4 quarters to search so it should be straight forward.
This will give you the correct reference for ordering but also shows date of birth against the record.
Thanks a mil,
Yes she is gone a couple of years, only to be replaced by the stupid spire/needle or spike, which ever you want to call it. Even more of an eye sore than the flousey!
Sorry to hear that. Perhaps they may return the column that used to stand there

Births, deaths and marriages registered after 1 January 1983 are indexed by year. The Quarter Indexes were discontinued.
