Gill: In RI, Vital Records-(V/R's)-which include births, deaths & marriages, are not held at the County level. Thus if you are rea- sonably sure your GrGrGrandmother died in Providence, I suggest you contact first the Providence Probate Court as described below, which may be able to help you; or point you in the right direction on how to proceed.

BILL in CT -END- -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there, I'm new to this list and I'm just trying to find out how I can obtain the death certificate for my great great grandmother, who died in Rhode Island. Unfortunately I don't have a date of death for her - the last trace I have of her is on the 1920 census, near the coal mines in Providence. I can't find her on the 1930 census, so it's quite possible her death was between 1920-1930. Her name was Catherine Hart, her previous married name was Hall, and her maiden name was Quinn. If anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be much appreciated! Thanks, Gill London, England.
