Hello List, My cousin found this information at Ancestry.com: OFFICIAL DEATH RECORD Name: Thomas Kelly // Estimated birth year: abt 1839 // Registration Year: 1900 // Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep // Age at Death: 61 // Registration district: West Derby // Inferred County: Lancashire // Volume: 8b // Page: 256 // Source Information: FreeBMD. England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index, 1837-1915 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA. BURIAL RECORD Name: Thomas Kelly // Birth Year: abt 1839 // Age: 61 // Death Year: abt 1900 // Burial Date: 16 Jul 1900 // Parish: Ford Cemetery, Lancashire, England // Source Citation: Liverpool Record Office; Liverpool, England; Reference Number: 285 FOR. The associated burial-record image has this information: "Interments // Monday 16 July 1900 // Thomas Kelly // Aged 61 years // 2893" I'm in the US. I want to look at the death & burial records to see if this is the Thomas Kelly we're researching. My questions: * Might there be any additional information on the official death record, say about the cause of death & his birthplace? * If so, what is the easiest & least costly way to get a copy of that record? * Might there be any additional information on the Ford Cemetery burial record, say about the person arranging & paying for the interment? * If so, what is the easiest and least costly way to get a copy of that record? Thanks for any suggestions. PJ, in Texas

G'day PJ An English death certificate from 1900 will provide the following information: Date and place of death (but not the residence if the death occurred away from home) Name, Sex and Age Occupation Cause of Death, and who certified the cause Informant Qualification of the informant (e.g. widow) The informant's residence (unless the informant is the coroner etc). There are two types of burial registers. The church register which is from the viewpoint of the funeral service, and from the late 19th century onwards with the advent of municipal cemeteries, there is the cemetery register which reflects the viewpoint of the cemetery administration. A parish burial register give date of name, age, abode, and date of burial. A municipal burial will have other details, such as plot number etc, and names of the other people if the plot has been used more than once. You can order copies of the civil registration death certificate through the GRO's website using the details from the deaths index transcribed in FreeBMD which you have. < http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp > The Lancashire On-Line Parish Clerk's project is transcribing the registers for Lancashire. It's an on-going project. < http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/ > The majority of Liverpool's Parish Registers have been microfilmed by the LDS and they can be ordered into your local LDS library for a nominal fee if you want to see a copy of the original register instead of a transcription. Ford Cemetery website < http://www.fordcemetery.co.uk/ > The Find a Grave website may have a photograph of a tombstone (although the site is more American orientated than English). < http://www.findagrave.com/index.html > Happy Hunting David Armstrong Maylands, Western Australia (five times bigger than Texas!) :-} ----- Original Message ----- From: pjsalis@hal-pc.org Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2014 11:51 PM Hello List, My cousin found this information at Ancestry.com: I'm in the US.
