Missing Death Index

[ALAMO2008]

 I cannot find a Death Index for a Christine/Christina Chapman nee Meyer born 1919 died April 2008 in Doncaster


Can anyone find it ?

[CaroleW]

The online death index only covers to 2007.  There are some deaths from 2008 but this is based on info submitted by undertakers etc and only shows name/age/DoB/location

[ALAMO2008]

Thanks Carole.
At least now I know there is a logical reason for not finding the Death Index ref yet.
Don't feel too bad now, about not finding it.
Cheers

As Carole explained the indexes only go up to 2007.

However anything from then can be viewed at the following places.

The Library of Birmingham
Bridgend Local and Family History Centre
City of Westminster Archives Centre
Manchester Central Library
Newcastle City Library
Plymouth Central Library and
The British Library

There are a few Rootschatters who call at these places from time to time and may be able to do a look up for you.

A few options that may help you   

For deaths (if a death certificate is needed by you or just to ask if they just have a record of the event indexed in their books) in the last decade, best contact the local register office covering the location city/town/village/hamlet or place of death of the deceased. In your case you say Doncaster.

Cremation is/was likely but could be buried or interred in a council cemetery - thus contact as in link (they have a fixed search charge, most likely with or without a find) .

Anglican church burials, nonconformist burials would need further research to find where records are held (Doncaster council may know or advise you) but by 2008 most local daily evening newspaper deaths entries stated where the deceased was going to be cremated or buried. (you having a known month date 2008 should refine the search of a data base)

If no-one else steps forward I should be at the British Library either this week or next so can check the GRO death index for you.

That would be a Great help to get the Death Index Ref for me to apply for the Death Cert.
Christina Chapman died 28th April 2008 we think at her home :-

 9 Scotten Square Retford Notts DN22 7FL 


Ceremony - 2 May 2008 • Rosehill Crematorium, Doncaster, Yorkshire, England

Offer appreciated.

Just a last minute after thought. 

Possible the reported event, death place registration district for Christina's death was in Notts covering Retford

If the death was in Retford Notts part of East Retford reg district Notts- it became part of Bassetlaw Reg District Notts 2005 (See links)

West Retford came under East Retford reg district

Hope it helps
