Of course, what you find in the GRO index isn't always what you find in a local RO index: |

Thanks Chris, I didn't realise that the registrar offices would still do that. Thanks :) |

One thing I have done in ordering certificates is to add a 'checking point' that the deceased would be over the age of 'XX'. Making the age 'over' about 5 years younger than I would expect. |

The indexes for deaths are similar to those for births and marriages. The information given is name, district in which the person died (not necessarily the same district in which they lived or were buried) and after 1866, the age of the person when they died. |

on the death indices? I wish they would do it (retrospectively for all years) |
