Can someone please tell me what information is recorded on a NZ death Certificate please (died early 1900's).. also, do I just apply for them the same way as I'd apply for a birth cert.?  Many thanks in advance and kind regards, Karen

Thank you very much Jericho.... I'll apply for the death certs then - thats a lot of info....

Gosh, my thought processes are so disjointed, I'm getting befuddled with all the names/dates I'm getting myself confused!!! 

Again, thanks so much.  Kind regards, Karen

NZ Birth certs have the same detail as well.  

I've had some great successes with my NZ certs.
