Somoeone died after 2014 but when?

Can anyone tell me how you find out about someone who died 2014 onwards but you don't know when?

Obit in newspaper?

Ancestry does have a few recent deaths on line, but not many. As far as I know there is no site that holds records that recent.

Do you know where they died, if so it might be worth trying local papers? Or if you know the area perhaps the register office may help as it is a relatively short time span that you are enquiring about.

If they left a Will the date of death is shown on the probate database.

Good idea, NJ.

The problem nowadays is that not many people put obituaries in newspapers and often not even death notices.

Many thanks - I have already tried all those methods above - so what next?  Can you contact the registrar of the area and request a search of the years 2014 onwards?

I can check the GRO death index at the archives this week if you want to send me a pm with their name, date of birth and the area they were last known to be living in.
