Death Indexes Search

To Obtain a Copy Death Certificate:

Two types of search are possible:


Search By Name

  1. Select date ranges from the list.
    Multiple dates may be selected by holding the Control key down while you click. (Mac users should use the Shift key)
    (Touch Screen users should select a single year and then choose a range of years either side)
  2. Select the region(s) that you wish to search.
    Multiple regions may be selected by holding the Control key down while you click. (Mac users should use the Shift key)
    If you select just one region, a new list will appear which will allow you to select a subdistrict from within the region.
  3. Choose whether you want the records listed alphabetically or by reference number.
  4. Enter the surname
  5. You may (optionally) enter forename(s); or the first part of multiple forename(s), or initials if you know them. See the Hints & Tips page for further explanation and examples.
  6. You may enter, optionally, an age at death (1 to 3 digits) or a year of birth (4 digits) and select the range of years either side that are to be included in the search.
  7. Choose whether you want the search to be an exact match, or if the search should return names that sound similar to the requested surname too.
  8. Choose whether you want the output on the screen or saved to a file suitable for reading into a spreadsheet.
  9. Press the Display Results button
Select a single Region first.
  Note: Not all entries have the age at death indexed. If you specify the age at death or year of birth, the entries where no age at death has been indexed will be shown in the results also. In these cases, the certificate may or may not be the one you seek.
