Hello Shelli Thank you for your reply,yes we are sure he died in the London hospital Whitechaple but not sure where to aply for death cert. Regards Maureen

you can still rewqest it from ONS Southport, with out the ref but think it cost more, £11 I believe. If you are certain of where the death happened then you can write to the reg office covering that area, however some reg offices do not deal with genalogy certificates. will see what i can find xxx

hello jane Thank you but I do not have 1837 on line so was hoping to find postal address to send for it. Regards Maureen

Maureen, Many folk use 1837online to get the GRO ref - if you know the person's name and year of death, you should only have to look at 4 pages ... one for each Quarter of the year. Whitechapel is a reg district in its own right, so you should recognise the entry. Good luck Jane

Hello Lynne Thank you for your reply but I do not have the GRO REF so cannot send for it that way. Maureen

Maureen If you have the GRO Ref you can order online at http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificate/ Cost £7. Lynne

Could anyone please tell me where I would send for a death cert of someone who died 1917 in the London hospital Whitechaple. Thank you.Maureen
