Hi Jennie Firstly you say you ordered a death certificate? I hope you didn't order it via Ancestry as if you did you will be paying a lot more than you should if you ordered it direct from the GRO The index of births marriages and deaths starts in 1837 and runs to the present day, with a few changes during that time the major one being in 1983 after which its computerised so there are no page images So there is only one centralised index for each event (usually known as the GRO index) which is made up of returns from all the local registrars in England and Wales What differs is how you access it, what you may have accessed is the freebmd transcribed index which is a work in progress and not complete for the period you are interested in (its available on Ancestry as well as the freebmd site) You would need to search the page images of the GRO index which are also available on Ancestry, log into Ancestry and select Births, Marriages and Deaths, then from the Deaths section select the third option of the three Deaths 1837 - 1915 (transcribed by FreeBMD) Deaths 1984 - 2005 (transcribed) *Death Indexes 1837 - 1983* Enter the name , plus a year and range if required (I find checking each year easier) you should get four quarters per year (you might get more than one page for a quarter if they overlap) check each quarter in turn from the last known time the person was known to be alive Note the year, quarter place registered and reference to then order the certificate Like all transcriptions (the GRO is a transcription of the local registrars returns) it is prone to error so if you don't find your name it does not mean it didn't occur but may have been wrongly transcribed at some point or missed off the returns (errors happened all to frequently) Are you sure she did not marry someone else though as there are a few possible Elsie FEREDAYs marrying Family stories are not always correct (slight understatement there <g>) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello.
