The digitisation of deaths is done up to the  1950s  so thete is plenty of scope to extend  but who knows when ( or if) it will happen....

This is a test system  so I dont expect anything will change for a while yet

I was referring to this post by Bookbox

Note the date limits ...

• Birth entries from 1837 up to 100 years ago
• Death entries from 1837 to 1887


Because the page-headers are not included, you will probably want to note the registration district in the file-name when you download and save an image.

I was looking for deaths in the 1909-13 period and it just offers pdfs or full certs.

In time they will hopefully start to do the same for marriages. I am very grateful for what they have released so far in regards to births and deaths. My collection of ancestor siblings birth certs has risen, plus death certs of ancestors and spouses of any ones who were wed more than once.

Q15. When will I be able to see other records (e.g. historic marriages) and more modern records in this format (or PDF)?
There are no plans to release these records at this time.

Q22. There is information missing from my image. Can I get the information?

I've already bought most of the certs years ago but wanted to explore a story that my father told about his brothers who were triplets. I was hoping to get the cheaper ones as I feel guilty spending extra money on these when people  are having to use food banks,

I am in New Zealand and brought 2 certificates last Friday. Thought it might take about 10mins to process but only took a few seconds.
Can not wait for my new debit card to arrive. I know where to test-drive it  ;D

I am also checking any ancestor or siblings births and deaths that took place in 1837, and some died or were born in the first half of 1837 and some in the 2nd half so it will break even, although I hoped one ancestor died after 1 July 1837 but I double checked their burial, it was April 1837.

Oh doh!   
I have just found the missing information -
I clicked on my orders, entered the COL ref. etc.  and up popped typed form giving all the details that would have appeared including the mothers maiden name !  Solved.
Thank you for all the help though.
