Doothy, The following information might be of use to you in getting a Death Certificate for William. Go to http://www.londonlist.org.uk/FAQ-Certificates.pdf and it will give you all the info as to how and where as well as how much it will cost you. The earliest date a certificate would be available is 1837 so William's death of 1840 fits.
