Please what is the general opinion I have a death of a bernard graham in 1999 in blackpool it isnt registered by a wife or a child, or any family member, just the coroner.
does this point towards him being unmarried with no children.

Could be he'd outlived his family?How old was he ?

This points to there having been an inquest.

No .It means there was a coroners inquest and he issued the document that was needed to register the death. It would have been sent to the registrar and the coroner then is recorded as the informant

No.

Normally there is a coroner's investigation and/or inquest if the person died unexpectedly.

If someone is ill in hospital or at home and being treated by the doctor and has seen the doctor regularly then the cause of death can be given by the doc.

But anyone dying suddenly, or for no apparent reason, or under suspicious circumstances would be the subject of a coroner's investigation to find out the cause of death.

The death cert should show the chap's home address which may help track down other family members.

Jill

ah yes there was an inquest

is it possible to find out if he was married or had family.
Im researching for his niece

he died from a fall, whilst in hospital.

we could write to last address its on the death cert any other ideas please

The local paper may give some info if anything was published.

Or electoral roll if you have the address.

I do have the address, would we need to go to blackpool to view the electoral roll for that address

Put up a request on the boards for someone living locally to see if they would check it at their local library?

Or try ringing the local library and see if they will do a lookup. They might make a small charge.

thanks Im wondering will 192.com be able to help too
