When my mother in law died in 1970 she was in a long term hospital. My husband was estranged from his mother for reasons I will not go into here. Her death was registered by the Matron. Some months later the hospital traced my husband and we obtained a copy of her death certificate. Most of the information including her parents and husband were missing. At that point we had no idea of her parents details and her husband had died in the 1920's (not my husband's father)

A couple of years ago I came accross the certificate and now knew all the missing information through doing my research into his family. I contacted the Registrar's Office in Edinburgh and was asked to supply copies of the relevant Birth/Marriage certificates along with a small fee and they sent me a new death certificate with all the missing information on it.

My children who never knew their grandmother were really pleased.
