Julie, there should be no problem obtaining a death cert from the GRO in Dublin, provided the death was registered. It will state date+place of death. Name-+surname. Sex. Condition. Age last birthday. Rank or occupation. Classified cause of death+duration of illness. Signature, qualification+residence of informant. When reg. Sig of registrar. Maggie
Thanks Margaret, Can you tell me why people might not have registered a death? Was it common? If there was a tombstone would you expect a death to have been registered?

Hi Julie The likelihood is that the vast majority of deaths would be registered from 1864 onwards, there would always be exceptions but very much in the minority Of the three life events requiring registration, deaths are the most likely to have been registered, as theoretically they could not bury a body without a death cert Marriages where they occurred were also very likely to be recorded and registered in the system The least likely event is births In all three cases there may be events recorded somewhere you were not expecting and under a name or spelling you are not expecting Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Thanks Margaret, Can you tell me why people might not have registered a death?
