I am fairly new to this. I am subscribed as a Platinum member to Genes Reunited. I cannot seem to find death records for anyone. |

The usefulness of GR lies in the paying members who give their time to help others |

You also need to bear in mind that GR, GRO, and FreeBMD only show deaths which happened in England and Wales. |

Thanks to @ErikaH and @ArgyllGran. Much appreciated! and yes I would be looking at just England and Wales. When you don't know something it can take quite a while to find out without help :) |

Very few of us actually use the records on Genes, which come from FindMyPast. |

Later deaths aren’t transcribed on sites like freebmd etc |

There are other ways of finding someone’s death. |

Many public libraries in England have free access to both Ancestry and Find my Past. It might be worth finding out if there is one close to you. |
