Jeff, It is possible that if I had his birth year and his mothers maiden name or even just the latter, that I could tell you when he died if he died in Scotland. Scotland has quite a good on-line system for acquiring instant images of the original registers at a cost of only £1.20 per certificate. The index is also very helpful for free.

This is great, many thanks. I'll pass it on to Jan who contacted me via my Allerton Cemetery site regarding the grave of one of William's nephews who died at the age of 10. When she asked me if I could point her in the right direction for William I doubt she expected this kind of information - I certainly didn't think I could find it. Wonderful! Thanks also to Tomas for pointing me towards Crockford's, to Gordon whose experience in his younger days will also be passed on, and to Peter for the late 1800s information.
