Missing Death Record?!
« on: Saturday 10 May 08 15:39 BST (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters!

Hope someone may be able to shed some light on to this for me as it is driving me round the bend!!!  Huh

I have the exact date of death for someone - 26 Oct 1957 (taken from their gravestone) and am trying (and failing) to find the death record in the BMD.

I was wondering if anyone knew why this may be the case? I have varied the surname spelling, and checked all quarters for 1956, 1957 and 1958 but no luck.

Any help/suggestions gratefully received!

Hi Tamar,

If you post the name and area you are looking for perhaps an eagle-eyed Rootschatter will be able to find them for you.

He is buried in Ermington, near Ivybridge (which is close to Plymouth) in Devon.

He was definately not abroad at the time of his death.

A William G Packman died in Surrey NW in the Dec 1/4 of 1952 age 72 .

Is it possible that the date you thought was 1957 is in fact 1952?

If so the ref is volume 5g page 794

He is also listed as George Packman with the same ref numbers,someone must have said his name was George at first,then realised that he was really William G  Wink

Any good?  Or am I in the wrong part of the country?

Thanks Carol,

Unfortunately the completely wrong area, and I have been back to the gravestone and photographed it - definately 1957. And he was 93 when he died.

Thanks for having a dig tho!  Grin

Your best bet might be the local registry office then?

The GRO indexes are NOT infallible  Wink

Hi,
Carol's right - apparently some got lost in transit from the local registrar's office and GRO (See Genuki - Civil Registration).
Good luck.

Also, they'll return your cheque if they don't find the right one - often  NO search charge at local offices Grin
