Asking if anyone knows whether or not reason for someones death is listed on their death certificate for the years of 1700-1900.  I would like to order some from this period, but only if the diagnosis for death is listed, and also  where would I seek or order one?   thank you gob lin

Hello again, the post that Kimberley answered is correct.  William was the son of Dorcas ward.  The information is listed as follow"  14 August 1836  William Ward  bb  s Dorcas, crawley.  Does anyone know what the bb stands for. Could that be the sign he was illegitimate?   I also followed advice of the other wonderful posts I received on this William ward, and ordered his marriage certificate from OFHS in Cowley.  I just got it today, it doesn't list either mother or father, so I do now believe he was illegitimate.  Thank you all for you kind help, goblin

Hello, that's what I was thinking, but I cannot document that for sure.  She was 25, might have had him out of wedlock, and in 1841 she marries a man named John Roberts, and they had children, but no William was ever listed.  thank you

thank you all for such great information.  looking at the will for wllliam , he uses the fawdrey spelling as Ffawdrey, but others listed in the will use fawdry, fawdrey.  There is also a mary fawdrey listed from radbourne.  That might be a interesting person to search.  Some people have said that the Ffawdrey spelling has a french connection to it??  Havent been able to find any french connection though.  I definitely will order the cd of salford and chipping norton.  If you find anything else interesting , i would love to hear.  goblin from the usa
