Find Living Relatives

Just click on the search icon at the top of any board and select search all member trees from the dropdown

Ordinary membership allows this - which is what most of us have, as GR is really only any use because of the help the paying members give to each other.

Do I have to be a higher member I’m platinum will it allow me ?

Ok thanks for that how do I go to members trees ?

I have , in all off Essex there is no
death certificate for dad or brother
but that only covers Essex if they’ve moved
out off Essex or died out off Essex
I had to ring the general registry which i did ,
they need an area to search
for a death certificate, which means :
I have to give name and area
which costs £10 so it’s a needle in a hay stack
plus a lot off money !!
Just think off all the areas out side off Essex !
Absolutely loads .

You could try the local register office to see if they can find a death record

The manager is doing precisely the right thing. He/she has to consider the privacy of the residents under his/her care

Yes I am Iv already looked for him on it , I’m sure the sheltered housing place is him or my dad but the manager won’t even say if he’s gone coz he died or has he just moved ?? :-| :-|

Are you on facebook - a lot of people with this name on there.

No-one should give you info about someone without the permission of the person concerned. And certainly not on the phone.

Thanks everyone I was given an address for my brother Joseph guy dyer
From a member in here Marian Lawson court I have rung them they said a Joseph guy dyer was there but no longer , it’s a sheltered housing wouldn’t tell me if he’d left or died so I’m no further forward they wouldn’t even say if he’s still alive
Or not !! I even said I’d hand over my number for them to pass onto him but they weren’t having it HELP !!!!

Murphy - a non subscribing member has followed up on the 2000 marriage. They believe the wife may have died & left a Will.

The Probate calendar entry reads
DYER MARY JOAN 03 February 2015 4508711 (died) 22 December 2014 Grant and will Winchester.

Go to https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills which has been mentioned several times earlier & repeat the search.
Surname Dyer
Year 2014
Forename Mary.

Once you have found the correct entry, you can order a copy of the Will etc for £10. Names & address might take you a little further forward in your search. Even if they aren’t Dyers, they might have useful information.

Joseph snr married in AMJ 1940 - Joseph jnr was born JFM 1940.

Another boy was born in 1944, and a girl in 1960 (in Ilford)

Here's where to look for a Will - bear in mind that it will only show online if it has gone to Probate

Three marriages in Essex for Joseph G Dyer

1979, 1986 and 2000

I’ve tried, ticked No.
Had to say which year he died in. Chose 2015. Asked to give age at death. 2015-1921 = 94. Made up a 1921 dob. It does ask for place of death which is obviously a problem. Perhaps you were using a different section? It sounds as you were looking for a birth reg, rather than ordering a death certificate.

Have you thought of using a people tracing service such as the Salvation Army? They’d probably want a payment.
