Thank you for the link, it looks very interesting.

Hi, A group called Internet Archive are uploading Yorkshire Parish Register Society volumes (and much more) onto the internet with free public access. This link, when copied and pasted, takes you to the results I got for a 'Yorkshire parish register' search. http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=yorkshire%20parish%20register Many of the individual results are only described by the volume number and they have to be opened to find the parish that is covered. When you open an item, I suggest using the 'read online' option in the 'view the book' panel on the left side of the page. This isn't the easiest of sites on the internet to move around, but is well worth the effort. Happy searching, Dom O'Malley.

Yes in some circumstances the burial can be arranged but only if the Coroner gives permission so that usually means there is an inquest. Most cases as I know from arranging funerals in the UK the Undertaker needs the death cerificate. --- On Thu, 10/12/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: WEST-RIDING Digest, Vol 4, Issue 314 To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 10 December, 2009, 8:01 Today's Topics:    1.

Cause of death is shown. Burial no as the funeral can not be arranged until after the death has been registered. So if you get the cert with the date please let me know and I can have a look at the relevant paper for you. --- On Tue, 8/12/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: WEST-RIDING Digest, Vol 4, Issue 312 To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 8 December, 2009, 8:01 Today's Topics:    1.  Info on a Death Certificate (Ellen Murray)    2.

Hi Ellen, Cause of death would be shown on the death certificate but not where the person was buried, or cremated. This page of the Kirklees Council, which takes in Huddersfield, is for their Bereavement Services. http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/answers/deathandbereavement/bereavementService.shtml Here you will find a link "How do I search for a grave" If you follow that link you get up a form to fill in for a grave search in PDF format. You can fill in the details of the person whose grave you are looking for and they will then search for the burial/cremation in cemeteries and crematoria in the whole of the Kirklees area. However, there is a charge for this service, as you will see on the form, and payment looks as if it can only be made by cheque. On the page link above there is an e.mail address for the bereavement services where you could ask them if you can pay with a credit card by letter or something, they may be able to take payment in that way. Just because someone died in the Huddersfield area does not necessarily mean they are buried there, they could be buried anywhere in the country. My Gt. Gt. Grandfather died in the county of Suffolk England but was buried back at home in County Durham, a good 300 miles away from where he died. Regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain <<Would someone on the List be able to tell me if cause of death and/or place of burial would show on a 1927 death registration / certificate for Huddersfield?>>

Hello all, I have been asked to tell you about another new CD from Parish Register Section, Yorkshire Archaeological Society: East Ardsley, Baptisms 1663 -1837, Marriages and Burials 1654 - 1837. There are also a few earlier BTs. This and others are available from http://www.yorkshireparishregisters.com Regards Janice Wood

Hi Ellen The BMD certificates are standard across the country - no local variations. Here's a useful site which explains what you'll find on each type of certificate. I'm afraid our death certs aren't the most helpful in the world. To find a burial of that period, try contacting the Kirklees Council Bereavement services - see http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/answers/deathandbereavement/bereavementService.sh tml and the link about finding a burial. (Kirklees Council area includes Huddersfield) You can contact the Huddersfield Examiner archivist on this email address [email protected] Hope this helps Kate -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ellen Murray Sent: 08 December 2009 01:03 To: [email protected] Subject: [WRY] Info on a Death Certificate Would someone on the List be able to tell me if cause of death and/or place of burial would show on a 1927 death registration / certificate for Huddersfield?

Hello Brian and List Like anything else, I expect there was huge variation from parish to parish or township to township. I am lucky to have had pauper ancestors in Midgley near Halifax in the eighteenth century. I say lucky, because the account books of the Overseers of the Poor in Midgley survive, with recipients named from 1756 onwards. I'm lucky again, in that 1756 was the year that my 7x great-grandfather Joshua BEDFORD died, aged 83. The accounts list amounts paid out for the provision of a bed for him in his final illness, payment to a woman for washing his bed clothes and attending him, the cost of his coffin and the cost of meat and drink for mourners attending the funeral. All in all, quite a heartening picture of pauper existence and burial in the 1750s, in Midgley at any rate. Kind regards, Lesley

I think normal overseas ISP's won't let that work, David, but if you sign up to a VPN - which you can do for say a month at a time - it will work via that route. Just don't tell the BBC!
