Welshpool - Death of Ronald Fox 08/06/1970 (aged 16 or 18)
« on: Friday 08 May 15 09:55 BST (UK) »
Hi there - I'm a complete newbie to searching Welsh records, have only used the Scotlands People site before.  Looking for advice/link as to where I could find out more about the death of the above person.  Are Welsh certificates like Scottish ones, where you are given parents names, address, cause of death etc.?  Any help gratefully received.  Thanks.
