The Common Room / Re: Missing GRO Death - 1945

Good work, MollyC.

I have reported 18. 13 have been amended; 4 have not; and of course the last we wait with bated breath for an answer.

I have ordered this, but mistakenly ordered the PDF (£7) instead of the Digital Image (£2.50)!

More haste....etc!

I have an estimated date of delivery of 22 January 2024 and will post here again once received.

Complete nightmare this.....

Hopefully some orphanage records will come in the post today relating to another member of this Greene-Butler family.

The Charles Butler in the West Ham Mental Asylum is not the right one.  I got his death certificate - he was born in 1884, and had a brother, Albert Butler (the death informant).  And he was in the asylum from 1908.

I have made a third submission - this time an amendment rather than a missing one - and we'll see what response is made by the GRO.

Bearing in mind that the GRO probably works on the same basis as others with customer service teams (ie as long as 80% / insert your own % here) of customer contact results in no further contact) that is the quality of service we have to accept. In the private sector (fuel companies, for instance) they will eventually offer you a "shut-up-and-go-away" minimal gratuity and, if that fails, challenge you to go to the relevant ombudsman, etc.

What they won't do, is change their processes.

Yes, I've found them on the 1939 Register at the same address as the Administration. They have two daughters.

Correct marriage is HILLS.

Thank you so much. Would never have found this without your help.

There is a probate record that reads:

BUTLER William Charles otherwise Charles William of 22 Oaks-lane Newbury Park Ilford Essex died 27 January 1945 Administration Lluandudno 27 March to Alice Sarah Butler widow.
Effects £948 3s 6d.

I did already look for a admin/probate record for Charles Butler, but not for William Butler.  Even the record above is not cross-referenced in Probate Records as Charles William otherwise William Charles.

But it's not on GRO as William, either?

[quote author=MollyC link=topic=879510.msg7517867#msg7517867 date=1705335743!

Amended:  Those two entries are on different pages: 523 and 525.  They are separate entries even if they are the same person.  Do "new rules" allow the GRO to delete one of them?

No, it is there. I think it's 523 but has been mistranscribed in freebmd.org.uk as 525 - look at the scanned image. It could be a 3, not 5.

Many thanks for all your replies.
