Didn't someone, somewhere in the past sit and trawl through obits which gave enough to put something on line.

Some are also on Ancestry, including the Rowley death posted by Nicki.

The England & Wales Death Index doesn't include all deaths, and doesn't give GRO references:


From Ancestry:

"About England and Wales, Death Index, 1989-2021
This collection is a compiled index that covers approximately 55% of the total deaths that occurred in this time period.

This index provides death details for people in England and Wales, specifically their name, gender, date of birth or age at death, date of death, and residence place at death. However, they do not include the General Register Office (GRO) reference information."

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

I don't think they are complete though. I have just checked 4 deaths that I know of and only one of them shows up.
