How to lookup BMD records
« on: Wednesday 18 August 10 22:56 BST (UK) »
Living in England I've grasped how to look up on the BMD site then go to
our GRO site to order certificates.

I need to look up and then order death certificates problem is I don't know their
exact address only they lived  Northern Melbourne - Victoria, Australia.

Please can anybody tell me where and how I can do it  :D

Thanks

Yvette,

You can search here at this link - however it will cost you.
https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=getHistIdxSearchCriteria

Or you could post the names of the people you are searching for, and a "Chatter"who has access to the Death records (to 1985) on CD, will do a lookup for you.
 
 Then with this information you can order (or download)  the record from the Registry of BMD's. If you click on the link, I have given you, you can go the Home page and find all the information that you need.

Hope this helps.
Sarra

 Sarra,

Thank you that's great, very helpful.

If I was to post their names would I do it here... or in a different area of this site? Rootschat is quite new to me   :-\

Would it just be their names or approx date of deaths as well?

IT would be better if you can tell us  their names and maiden name if a married woman and  if you have  the details their parents names and when they were born.

Victorian certificates have a good deal of information on them. but  the record will only be as good as the informants knowledge of the deceased



thanks Jenn
