The online (free) civil registration index only goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties.

There's also GRONI's new site (deaths 50 years old or more).
https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/

Who was informant on son's death certificate? if a relative there might be someone in the family with more information or clues.
Have you considered the possibility that Susan could have married after her son was born?

hi ballyaltikilliganc,can you actually get on to the original cert on the freebmd org tried but couldnt do it.

Hi Cathy52, the free index can be helpful but here is how it works in practice.

The FreeBMD database is an electronic version of the index created by the GRO (General Records Office) which has been produced by the FreeBMD project using the efforts of thousands of volunteers who have given their time to provide you with access to this valuable resource of information (to join them click here). Information on the GRO index is contained here.
It is important to understand that the FreeBMD index is a transcription of the GRO index - it contains the same information (errors and omissions excepted) as the GRO index and is organised in the same way (e.g. by quarters). The FreeBMD project does not have access to any other information.
The FreeBMD database contains currently contains 242,841,442 distinct records (309,022,388 total records), and it is important that you specify your search properly in order to ensure that;
Your search does not return excessive numbers of records
You don't miss the record you want
You should also note that the FreeBMD transcription of the GRO index is an on-going project and not all of the index has been transcribed; please see here for more details.


The GRO has its own website for ordering up certificates
https://www.gov.uk/order-copy-birth-death-marriage-certificate
To order a copy of a birth, death or marriage certificate
You’ll need to register on the General Register Office (GRO) website to order a copy of a birth, adoption, death, marriage or civil partnership certificate in England and Wales.

You can use this service to help you research your family tree[no explanation follows]

Hoping you break the brick JimG
