Death Certificate - Manchester Register Office
« on: Thursday 08 February 24 13:43 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I wish to apply for a soldiers service record through the National Archives. They require proof of death if he was born less than 115 years ago. His DoB was September 1911 so I will need an official certificate. I know that he died in Manchester in 1992 and FreeBMD indicates the volume and page. However, I dont have a full date of death and the online ordering system requires this information.
Any ideas please?
Paul
I lived in Ardwick, Manchester in the early 1960s as a small child and much travelling of the world has now led me to want to know more about my roots. Carter, Beckwith, Connolly, Heron and Kelly are all names that form part of my family tree.

The online system asks for full name/year/quarter/RD/ volume and page numbers.  Actual date of death is not required unless known

He might be on the 1939 Register, which has the full date of birth, although not always accurate.

If you can give his name, it might be possible to find him.

I have his date of birth but I was under the impression the Manchester records office required a death date. I will revisit this as I thought it was a required field.

I also understood you needed a date of death.  You might have a look for his Will/probate that will may give you the date you need.
