Registration of death
« on: Tuesday 15 May 07 10:21 BST (UK) »
I have burial details for a family member of Dec 30, 1930, aged 60, died C.G.H (City General Hospital), abode 166 Willow Street, Leicester.

I have found someone of the same name registered Dec quarter 1930, aged 60, Billesdon. 

Would her death have been registered in Billesdon does anyone know?

Thank you.

I don't know the area at all (a bit north for me  ;)), but the following webpage shows the areas covered by the registration district you mention.

Leicestershire Central district was not created until 1/10/1949.

Hope this helps - John

Greeting's Again. ..... Frances.

YES The City General Hospital
( Formally known as North Evington Hospital )
Defiantly comes under Billesdon District.
I know this because  Evington was where my Mother came from
and ALL Registration certificates were headed  Billesdon District 

Apparently the Registration Officer for Billesdon District lived in Evington
and used to cycle all over the district collecting information & issuing certificates.

So......I would go ahead & order that certificate.
