Can't find a death registration
« on: Monday 30 October 06 12:18 GMT (UK) »
We have a Robert Diley birth registered in J/A/S 1935. We have always been lead to believe that he died as a baby. However, I've got as far as 1940 and still can't find a death registration for a child. Presumably child deaths did require a regisitration?

Hi Jillie

Yes, everyone has to have a death certificate.  If the baby died in a hospital then it could be in a different registration district to where it was born.  So try all nearby registration districts in your search.

Sussex: Floate, West
Kent: Tuffee
Cheshire: Gradwell
Lancashire: Gradwell

Also Stillbirths were made registrable by the Births and Deaths Act 1926.

Doh!! :D :D :o  Thanks Kerry.

I was looking on Ancestry.co.uk and the only registration months it DIDN'T show were J/F/M 1936.

If a quarter doesn't show in the search, it's usually because it has been indexed wrongly - not because the image isn't there.  In that case, search for a similar name (eg DINGLE or DICKS), then use the Prev/Next button to get to the page you want.
