Death Register in Buckingham
« on: Thursday 15 October 09 14:56 UTC (UK) »

I am probably being really dense, but I cannot find a record of the death of my Great Grandparents.  Thomas and Florence Smith.   They were the Landlord and Landlady of the Three Cups until their deaths but I can find no record at all.   Does anyone know if these are available anywhere?

Thanks

Hi

Do you know the years of death and the area of The Three Cups, as they should be on the BMD registers.

I only know rough years 1949 for Thomas and 1959 for Florence. The Three Cups is in Buckingham.

The only death register is the GRO which has its index available on FreeBMD and various other sites.  You will find a slightly different version of the index at the appropriate local registry office.  Some local FHS have transcribed their local registry office death indexes and a very few are available on-line.  The death certificates can be obtained from either at a cost of £7.

Otherwise and before 1837 you need to rely on burial registers most of which are deposited in county record offices and again a few of which have been transcribed.

The Buckingham registers and those for some of the parishes which now form part of the borough have been deposited at the record office but I am not sure whether there are any transcriptions available.  You will need to check the sites of the two FHS.

Hi

I have found a Florence Smith death Q4 1958, North Bucks, (thanks David for the district)  6a 426, aged 70. Could this be your Florence?

As your great grandparents, being publicans, must have been well known in the area, perhaps a trawl through the local newspaper might be productive if you can narrow down the dates of the deaths.

Thank you all so much for your help. The Florence mentioned does tie up with what my dad remembers.  The newspaper idea is a great one, I will need to see if I can look through the archives.

Thanks all
