Hi all

Have recently received a Death Certificate for my great uncle June 1971 - Details of the informant is ok (although I do not know who she was at the moment) but (b)qualification I dont really know what it means. Hope someone out there can help me.

(b) qualification

"Causing the disposal of the body"

I shall try and visit Birmingham Library soon to have a look at the electoral regs so hopefully I can try and establish who the informant was.

Thanks very much

It just means that the informant was qualified to register the death and state ,what was going to happen it the person,,,ie ,that is how its alway written on more modern day certificates,,,


Qualification,,,,,,,,,

Causing the body to be cremated,
Causing the body to be buried,



Enquiries at the local council should be able to tell you if it was burial or cremation,as they also keep records of their Municipal Cemetires,,,,,,,,and the Cemetry its self do,

Hi Kay

Thanks very much for replying. I will now just have to find out who the informant was - just in case she was some sort of distant rellie.

Thanks again

Hi
I had one similar the informant was the matron of the nursing home my cousin died in

The informtant could be anyone,,,depending where and circumstances where they died,,,,,,,does it have the address of informant?it should give relationship if a son,daughter or inlaw,

Hi Kay

Yes the informant was living at a different address but only just around the corner - perhaps a friend or something.

I do know that he did not marry and was perhaps living with his sister and her hubbie at the address - best think I can do is to check the electoral regs at Birmingham.

Thanks again for your help
