Hi Florence,

It will tell the year but sorry I don't have the subs anymore so it doesn't show up for me :-(

It sounds very Spanish or Portuguse not very Austrian!

good luck!

thanks patricia and helen, yes thats both of them. jack/john i remember his birthday was at beg of sep, so that is correct.

liverbird, does it tell you when that person came to uk. although i know she was born in austria and that name doesnt sound very austrian, but then again you never know.

good work ladies thanks again

I don't know whether recent English death certificates show a woman's maiden name, they didn't used to


BUT it would not show in the birth registration anyway


you have to buy the certificate to see what is actually on there.


cost £9.25 from GRO

could some kind person look up a death for me to see if it has details of the persons maiden name. her name is berta maria edwards died 2005 middlesex. i found that info on ancestry, but do not have a subscription to the site.
unfortunately i do not know what year she was born but a good guess would be 1930 jan, but in austria.
she did however marry in uk 1950s?
she was married to jack/john edwards who died in 1999, same place but cant trace his death at all.

any help would be appreciated
thanks florence61
