London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / William Long 1855 death how do I get the right certificate
« on: Sunday 21 October 07 01:44 BST (UK) »
I have a William Long who according to another researcher died 14 Jul 1855 age 60 at Greenwich. The researcher has his wife listed as died 14 Jul 1858 Wandsworth .(worldconnect site) I sent to the GRO for both certificates - the one I received for Elizabeth Long died 1858 was the correct one. But the one I received for William Long was the wrong one. From free BDm i had 1855 Dec 1/4 Greenwich 1d 581 - the GRO sent me one for a William Long same 1/4 Greenwich 1d 381 - so assume that was the only William Long died then but it was for a young lad of 20
Is it possible to find a person without sending for certificates and just hoping to hit the correct one- there are so many William Longs?
