I checked for a death of a Frederick Mais on the "Free BMD" site and he is not listed for the time frame you mentioned. The only deaths listed so far are a Wm. Mais age 24, York, in the Sept Qtr of 1873 and Richard Colston Mais age 75, Keynsham, in the June Qtr of 1883. The only Frederick Mais listed was age 90, Gloucester, in the March Qtr of 1902 Nancy Vogt My web page: http://community.webtv.net/nanspage

Howard & Nancy The fact that you can't find a death on FreeBMD doesn't mean it wasn't registered. The coverage of deaths between 1871 & 1881 on FreeBMD is far from complete so far - if you follow the "Information" button on the site, you can find a page of statistics, which shows graphs of coverage for each year. The best coverage is 1874 at about 85%, and 1879-1881 have not reached 5%, so there are a lot of transcriptions still to be done. The 1837online site would be a possibility, but to cover a 10 year period would cost you at least £4.

Richard, Howard & Nancy, Have you checked your local (or not so local, but nearby) public libiary, for English "GRO"/ "St Catherines House" BDM index on microfishe, for failing that if you have a Mormon Church nearby they may have a Family History Centrer attached (you can check FHC locations on the LDS site), and they almost certainly will have the indices, and don't worry church members are specificly not allowed to "evangalise" at FHC's, and many of the FHC staff are not church members but volunteer fellow genealogists putting something back into our hobby by staffing the centre. This is for all free.
