Death Search
When searching, you must enter:
- A Family Name and Search From Date or
- A Registration Number.
You can search for death records if:
- Deaths that occurred at least 50 years ago, or the deceased's date of birth was at least 80 years ago
To achieve the best results you should use a 'less is best' approach. If you receive too many results then narrow your date range.
Searching pre 1875 records:
- If you search a specific date and the date of event is not in the database, the entire year is searched for you.
- Registration numbers for individuals with the same name can be sequential as index books were scanned to create the records.
Surname searches include birth surnames, previous surnames and current surnames so you may see names that do not match your search criteria. If your search results do not contain the surname you are looking for try including a Search To Date or Given Name as non search criteria names go to the top of the list number and the number of records returned may have been exceeded.
