Hi Jen

The death you mentioned with John Gray informant from the durham records on line , before I purchase this record it is definitely 1885 and John Gray informing of the death ??

No, I didn’t say he was the informant.

It is a burial record, from Bishopwearmouth Cemetery, which states that Jane Gray of 14 Back Hedley  Street, wife of John Hedley, a plumber, was buried on 2nd September 1885.

If you wish to know who the informant was you will need to buy the cert.

Hi Jen

Whoops I misunderstood that, but the wrong name for her husband anyway. Thanks

Rosie67, read the below carefully again, I've put it in bold for you.

The 1885 burial was of Jane Gray, 14 Back Hedley Street, wife of JOHN GRAY, plumber (per Durham Records Online).

You can get a pdf for £6 from the GRO.  If it was me I would be buying the cert if only to eliminate this Jane.

Just for the record, here's the original (courtesy of Family Search) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJ7-494X-H?i=478&cat=825520

Ah, great Jen - everyone can now see exactly what the original record says.

As I said in my earlier post, if it was me would be buying the death cert to see who is named as the informant.

Ok Everyone I have ordered the death certificate by pDF file so will update you when I receive it. Fingers crossed it is the right one !!

Ok Rosie, we shall await events.

At least a pdf is cheaper than a full cert.
