Hi UJ Deaths were not recorded officially until 1837, before that it would be the burial in the vast majority of cases The burial will probably be recorded in the parish registers but at that time is highly unlikely to give more than the index The date and name will be recorded There may be Age Abode Relationship (ie the wife of XXXX) Details can vary depending upon the Clerk / Vicar so its generally worth checking Why not post the details to see if anyone can help you Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/01/2013 03:04, Jim Andrews wrote: > > As a Newbie, my question is: Are there death records from Birmingham > from 1772 available?
