Is there no way to search per address for Scotland? :(
I would be willing to pay more, it would be worth it...

At present the policy is to apply for a person's information by date of death only. I think it is because they can check this easily with the GROS death indexes (and GROEW), indexed by name not address. That's not to say you could not try an approach asking for information specifically by address, perhaps through an FOI application to the GROS with that specifically stated. The worst they can say is no!  :)

Hopefully I'll get a similar e-mail in a couple of days.  I put in my request 2 days after you did.

Lizzie - you prob still have at least one more to go yet before getting the information.

I just got 4th (my request was received by them 11 Jan) thanking me for patience etc and saying it has been "escalated to our specialist team".

Have to give them credit for communication.
