Sorry David, You're in no luck whatsoever. No certificates at all were issued prior to the summer of 1837. So don't waste your money on an agent. As you have a date death already, the parish burial register will, almost certainly, only give you the date of burial. If any monumental inscription exists, that may confirm things for you, but no guarantees. -- Mike Yegwart Bromsgrove Branch Chairman BMSGH bmsgh.org
