Name: Jack Young Birth Date: 6 Jun 1898 Death Registration Month/Year: 1980 Registration district: Manchester Inferred County: Greater Manchester Volume: 38 Page: 0649

	I see - always helps! Most people who are known as Jack tend to actually be called John!

	Name: John Young Birth Date: 29 Apr 1912 Death Registration Month/Year: Oct/Nov/Dec 1981 Registration district: Trafford Inferred County: Cheshire Volume: 39 Page: 2211

	John Young is a pretty common name, so trawling for a marriage for him would take some time. I think it would be good if you could get more info on his 5 children to try and find their births and then trace the marriage of the parents from the mothers maiden name given.

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 6,059 Send Message	Donna, with the index details posted you can send for it, Tick GRO known -that is the vol. /page numbers. A cert cost £9.50 i think This is the official site https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp
Member Since: September 2004 Posts: 1,274 Send Message	FamilyFogey	Report	4 Jan 2011 20:07
	Donna - what do you mean by looking on the census for his death? You wont find a. death details on a census, or b. censuses available past 1911 for England & Wales... Jan is right - you should order the death certificate, although I am aware that ordering certs for events which fall within the last 50 years you do tend to need to be able to provide more information to be able to order... Certs cost £9.25

Member Since: January 2009 Posts: 62 Send Message	AlexWoozle what i meant is that i couldn't find a record of the death on the census i know that it will not show the details but i'm going to ask my aunt and cousin again

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Donna, are you confusing census with BMD records? Census only go up to 1911 and are records of households - addresses and who lived in them.

	Donna, deaths are NOT recorded on any census. Look on freebmd http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
