Can't find online Death Cert

Post by Annie_Forsyth » Sun Sep 11, 2011 12:45 pm

I am puzzled why Death Certs for my Aunt (1966) and Grandfather (1977) are not visible online. Anyone have the answer or where I might find the information as I can't keep buying copies.

:)
Many thanks
Annie :-)

Hi Annie,

[TS_welcome]

For births less than 100 years ago, marriages less than 75 years ago and deaths less than 50 yeras ago, they are not allowed to have the images online. So the only way to have the information from these certificates is for you to buy certified copies online; or to visit the ScotlandsPeople Centre in Edinburgh or one of its outposts around Scotland.

All the best,

AndrewP

Hi Andrew

Ahhh did not realise that and many thanks for such a quick reply. Unfortunately I am not in Scotland so will have to go through the purchase route, when pennies allow! :(
Many thanks
