Hello again Liverpool listers, I have just received a death certificate from 1963 on which the 'description' of the informant is 'causing the body to be buried'. I've never seen that as a description before and wondered whether anybody could shed any light on it? The person concerned died in hospital, definitely out of contact with many of her family and possibly out of contact with any relative. A notice was subsequently issued by the Treasury appealing for relatives in relation to her (small) estate. So does this mean that the informant was some official person who authorised the burial in the absence of any relatives? The name and address of the informant, in case anyone recognises it, was H.E. Falcon, 35, Greasby Road, Upton, Wirral. No quaifications or any oter description of who M/s Falcon was, other than those words 'causing the body to be buried'. It's a different name both from that of the doctor who certified the cause of death and that of the (deputy) registrar who registered it. Help, please, from anyone who knows about such things! Maria

My gt grandfather was living under an assumed name in lodgings in Hull. My Gt Grandmother was working as a Nurse in the house of the local Registrar. They were both originally from Nottinghamshire. I don't know the how and why they came to be living in Hull but apart but they seem to have lived like this for almost 10 years until my gt grandfather died in hospital following an operation for bowel cancer. I sent for the death certificate and when it came it showed his assumed name and the lodging house as his address. The informant was named as the landlady, and it stated 'causing the body to be buried'. Perhaps she had decided to register the death believing he had no-one else. There was a note to the certifcate stating that the details had been altered to his correct name and age following a sworn statement to the Registrar by his widow, my Gt grandmother a few days later.
