Death Certificate Wanted
« on: Monday 28 April 08 17:59 BST (UK) »
Hi there,

I am hoping there is someone who lives in Hertford as I need to find out the occupation of the witness on a certian death certificate before i purchase it. 
Maria Wells possible death - either Dec Qtr 1885 Ware Herts; Mar Qtr 1894 Hatfield Herts;
Maria was my gr gr grandmother from Kirkstall Leeds;
The certificate has the name of Joseph Wells who was her husband;
I haev already requested this certificate but the girl told me the occupation does not match my request.  He was some kind of showman/ actor/ comedian/ theatre manager of a portable theatre and none of this shows.
As we all know registra's cannot tell you over the phone any information on this certificate;
If there is anyone who can go and read these certificates- All I need to know is what occupation does it give for her husband Joseph Wells and anything relative to my asks; 

Also if the witness is not Joseph it could be either of maria's daughter's.  Jane Wells or Margaret (Maggie ) Denton;  Or her son George Wells; son in law Samuel Denton; Daughter in law susan Wells;
Ihope this isnt too much to ask if it is please tell me

I'm afraid the only way a death certificate can be viewed is by purchasing it.

Registrars can answer yes no questions but can not answer leading questions,

Occupation of the Informant (if thats who you mean by 'Witness') wasnt actually required  .... so I dont know why the Register Office is being coy .... surely its the Relationship you want to know ?
