Does anyone know if the date of birth will be on the death certificate in 1906? If so could I view the death cert at the reg office for free?

No and No

Roy

If this is England, No the date of birth was not added until 1969.

You cannot view certificates free, but the index will show age at death, as given by the informant.
NB......This is not always correct age, even when informant is a close relative.

If you like to post some details of what you are looking for, members will do their best to help.

To put it bluntly. In England and Wales

No and No

The certificate will have the age at death, as known to the informant. I think the dob was included about 1965 [edit - Gwyn says 1969]

You can only view the details of a death certificate by purchasing it - either at the issuing Register Office, or from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

thank you. I cant find the birth of john dunn and havent much to go on. He was born in liverpool about 1854. He died March 1906 in Bury Lancashire.
so i thought if I got hisdeath cert it may give me more clues.

Did he marry.... If so what was his father's name and occupation ?

Do you have John on any census ...Where?

Although his birth should have been registered, it is possible that it wasn't, but a few clues might lead to a baptism which might show a birth date.

Gwyn

yes he married matilda herron and he is on a census as half brother to joseph pink. i'll get the details just a mo

As it wasn't compulsary to register births until the 1870's, his parents may not have bothered.

John Dunn 16 ........half brother b. Everton

He was a herbalist. If Joseph Pink is his half brother then his mum is called Mary. I think his dad was called John. Mary Holt married Spencer and he died she then married George Pink and he died. Then she had John Dunn but I cant find a marriage to johns dad.

...Perhaps they didn't marry ?

1861
Joseph is shown as Grandson to Abraham INGRAM and his wife Elizabeth.
Abraham is a herbalist.

he married Matilda Herron Jan 1878 which shows his dad as John Dunn.
1861 census Everton
1881 I can't find it
1891 Bury Lancs

yes I don't know why he is their grandson. It would mean that Pink married Ingram and had Joseph. I sent away for Joseph Pinks birth cert and it gave his dad as George Pink

The birth cert for Joesph Pinks shows 1st may 1848 boy Joseph John Pinks, father Joesph George Pinks and Mary Ann formally Holt. address Margaret terrace Hygeia St Everton.

I wonder if Thomas and Margaret Holt on the 1861 census are related to them.

If he was born in Everton then this west derby birth is a possibility
Births Dec 1853
DUNN John W Derby 8b 347
