Hi Folks,
Can anyone tell me what details would be on a Death Cert. (as recent as 1997 to date) of someone who has possibly changed their name, whether by Deed Poll or not?
Last sighted in 1997.
I know when I registered my father's death in 2006 the Registrar actually looked up the info. I gave regarding his birth date/place & my g/parents (obviously to verify).
If this said person (born Scotland) is in fact deceased under a different name, the Registrar having done a check (if that was the case) would notice the facts didn't tie in so to speak.
Assuming his correct birth details were located would the death cert. show said "new" name with "previously known as" if the informant knew those details or possibly by the Registrar?
I am helping someone who's family is related to mine although we are not related.
I can't post any details as such of the person we are trying to trace as they may still be living, rumoured to have changed both forename & surname.
