Hello List Noel, although I have never seen one before, I believe the death register page would be from the birth and death registration records held by the municipal authorities , described in the FIBIS Fibiwiki page "Birth and death registration" http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Birth_and_death_registration In general terms, because these records are held locally, you need to know which registration office is applicable, and the exact date, (although if there aren't many records perhaps the year would be sufficient). Although people in the past have been able to obtain copies of birth registration, I do not know whether it is still possible to do so, or the situation with death entries. You would probably need to use an organisation such as Your Man In India, mentioned recently in another India List post, but whether they can obtain "historical certificates" I do not know. I would think any certificate would be a transcript. For a place like Simla, the man who produced the website may be able to assist. All rather indefinite.

Going to the web-site you mentioned, I am fascinated by the page of the death register shown there. (It is a death register, not a burial register Does anyone know how a copy of this could be obtained? It is a mine of information not available elsewhere...
