Hi,

The death cert records the cause of death. The link below gives more info on what should be on the death cert -

If you wish to purchase the cert then use GRO which is the cheapest option to buy certs(£9.25)

You can look up the index information on www.freebmd.org.uk  as you need the quarter, year, district, volume and page to order the certificate from the GRO. Let us know if you need help with the lookup.

So you know his father's name too and occupation.  Would you like to share those with us so that we might be able to find John with his parents on the census.  :)

Did John's marriage cert give his father's occupation?
