He needs to order the death cert - even the notifiction in the local papers dont give a cause of death - just a form of words like "after a short/long illness....." Also do not rely on what any other family member says that the person died of ---- I have been down that route and found out some people have really vivid imaginations after looking at the official death certs. he should apply to the GRO using the ONLINE neta address :- http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp (his doctor / friends / relatives should be able to help him fill it in) They take credit card so no problem with money tansfers etc Death Details he will need are as follows : Evelyn May Johnson Birth: 4 May 1912 Death: Mar 1983 @ Mid Eastern, Surrey, England Volume 17 page 0100 Steve
