Hi, I am looking for the name of the registration district 1A in 1953. Trying to order a death certificate in Newcastle area. I know in 1956 the Newcastle district was 1B - the GRO are asking me for the district name of 1A, even though I have given them the name, volume number and page no..... I can't recall from my visit to the archives 2 weeks ago what the district name was for 1A in 1953.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-(

Have you looked up the death on freebmd? it should go up to 1953

1a is for Durham but that is broken up into different areas North, South, Central and east and west.
