Hi there I am thinking of ordering 2 certificates for death of a possible ancestor. The certs from the GRO are 20E but I wonder what information I might find on them and whether the cost if worthwhile. The deaths were in Co. Tyrone in 1865 and 1872. To confirm it is the correct ancestor I would need info such as name of husband, residence (it is in the Strabane district), poss maiden name (That would be a real bonus!). I have the info from FindMyPast as to district, year and age at death as well as quarter, volume and page. Can anyone help with what I might find on the cert or would it be a waste of money? Thanks for any information Best wishes Meegan, Brisbane

Meegan, Sorry, but I don't think you will find what you are seeking on older Irish death certificates. Parents' names are only included from 2005 onwards. The older death records from Ireland do not have that level of detail. There is a less expensive option than the 20 Euro price, but the level of detail is the same. It is 4 Euros for a photo copy. The only possible help would be if the person present at death (what we call the "informant" on most US death certificates) is a name of use. The relationship is not usually stated. Sorry that I can't give you more hope. I have an 1866 death certificate from County Antrim. If you would like to see what is included, I'll be happy to email you a copy.

Hello Meegan, The LDS (Mormons) have filmed the Death Registers from 1864 to 1870. If you are able to visit a LDS Familyhistory Library you will be able to at least obtain the 1865 death by hiring the film. I'm not sure the cost of hiring these days, but it used to be $5 in Brisbane. Kind regards Alma, Brisbane. -----Original Message----- From: Meegan and Chris Ferguson Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 12:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CoTyIre] Information of death certs Hi there I am thinking of ordering 2 certificates for death of a possible ancestor.
