How do I find a date of deceased person in 1984? On here it only says last quarter. I know he died in November. Thanks anyone who can help.

You'll have to buy a copy of the death cert, unless you can find a newspaper death notice or obituary..

If you like to give us his name, we'll have a look.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

You could check the probate records as these usually give the date of death.

His name was Frederick Henry Brown (known as Harry) born Liverpool 1914. Died November 1985, but looking for the date. If you can help I'd be grateful. Regards Brenda

You are the one who would have to buy the death certificate!

Go to this site to see if he left a will that went to probate

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

I'm afraid the death cert is the route you'll have to take.

I don't see anything anywhere else.
