For births, marriages and deaths from Sep Qtr 1837 onwards you can get certificates from GRO such as this death certificate -

susan lynski ellen
thank you for the replies i gave them stoke damerel and plymouth but they said they wanted parish details do they mean st aubyn ??

what do abode dock mean ??

will the book be useful to me ???

susan yes this is my grt grandfather and family

Lynski

The death you have for william henry mcdowell age 73 is the wrong one
as mine is age 66 he was born 5/1/1939

Sorry, Joyce
I thought the date you had given was the death date.

Mary Ann McDowell - is that her married name or maiden name?

Abode: Dock

This means that he must have lived in a place called Dock or on the docks??

Lynski

Yes it was the death date someone gave me isnt it correct then ???

Mary ann gerry was her maiden name

thank you for your help
