Welcome to Rootschat

Do you know his address at the time of death?

Are you sure he was buried & not cremated?

Thank you for the reply :)

I don't know his address sorry & I can't confirm he was buried.

This is my first foray into trying to research like this, sorry for the lack of details.

I'm trying to find his exact death date so I can order a copy of his death certificate.

You don’t need his exact date to buy the death cert - use this reference

June quarter 1983 Weymouth volume 23 page 1036

You can order online at https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp & copies cost £11

I can’t find any will for him which would have given his date of death

Hopefully his address will be shown on the cert which may help narrow down a location if he was buried.  Knowing the exact date can also help.  The cert won’t give you a grave location though

Hopefully, the death cert will give me some details to carry on my research.

Cheers again.
