Urgent help with date of death
« on: Wednesday 16 October 19 18:59 BST (UK) »
 ???
Seems the best place for this - apologies if not.
I urgently need to find the actual dates of death of both my parents for a Russian visa application; taking wife to Moscow for wedding anniversary next month so time is very short.
I know the month and year from Ancestry but not the actual dates; is there an online or other quick way of finding out please?
Don't need certificates (cannot wait for them anyway) - just the actual dates.
TIA

How come you don't know when your parents died?  Any siblings who may know?

What are their names and when and where did they die?  Cremated or buried?

England: Devon, London, New Zealand
Holdway: Wiltshire
Hooper: Bristol, Somerset
Knowling: Devon, London
Southcott: Devon, China

I have no specific documents from their funerals in 1981 or 1999. Both cremated. As the youngest of 3 I was not involved in the formalities. Middle sister lived abroad at the time, eldest sister made the arrangements but she is now 82 and is unable to help (memory failure plus seems to have cleared out docs years ago).
I'm unwilling to put personal details on the open forum, I do have the Register details but that doesn't give me the specific dates.
Help, anyone?

Did they leave wills, if so the date of death will be given on the probate search website.

Might be on here? (We are assuming these are UK deaths)
