	Yes, even in the early 1830's and 1840's most death certificates had the cause of death. They certainly will have in 1940's. Kath. x

	Rachel Yes, a death certificate will show a cause of death and they have done since they began in 1837. As you are new to this you might like to have a look at this site which explains what information you can gain from birth, marriage and death certificates. http://home.clara.net/dixons/Certificates/indexbd.htm Chris
