Hello u2by and welcome to RootsChat.

Yes, unfortunately death certificates are only accurate as the person reporting the information knew. Parent's names may not be known, however there is other information which may be provided - spouse, marriage details, children's names, place of birth, residency etc. You can see what information there may be here:

An obituary has been provided in reply #2

Sorry Sue, just realised you posted the information available on a Qld death certificate already.  :-[

My Great GrandUncle is Henry Walter Bird. B.1857. D1935 Australia.
His parents were John Barnett Bird, Elizabeth Parker.
Married Mary Ann Holt in 1880 Hardingstone .They had two children John Earl Bird, George Holt Bird.
He left his Wife c.1883 and departs fo Australia.
Mary married Harry Middleton and had one Daughter Grace Eva.

I have NO information of his life or new family in Australia and would really appreciate any information that anyone has on Henry Walter Bird.
I can supply all information on his family in England.  Thank You. :)

Welcome Castlebromwich also to RootsChat !

As Sue has mentioned (and I pointed out in reply #10) whilst it does look promising, there is still no proof that they are the same person.

As there seem to be 2 or 3 people on this thread interested in the purchase of this certificate, but no-one actually doing it, I suggest you use the Personal Message system and negotiate a solution to acquiring it! ;D

Hello Castlebromwich. You need to make 3 posts before you can use the personal message system. One more and you're there.  :) Simply reply to this if you like.
