my grandfather was called alfred adolpus bullock born 1903 graandmothers name olive annie sandall born 1907 how would i go about finding when they died ?

You need to search the death indexes year by year. If you have no idea when these deaths took place, it could be a long search.

1984-2005 has been indexed but I can't see anything matching the above.

If you order their birth certificates you will find out the names of their parents, the mother's maiden name, and where they were born.

This information can then let you or us search on the censuses and take the family back into the 19th century.

To order a certificate go to www.gro.gov.uk, click on Ordering Certificates Online in the box to the right of the screen, and follow instructions. They will ask you for the GRO reference number ... that is the set of two numbers to the right of W Bromwich.


Each certificate will cost you £7

Hi Bridget,
