Death certificate 1960s

[howhowhowhow]

Hi, does anyone know how I get hold of a death certificate for an ancestor who died in the 60s?

The GRO website doesn’t list death certs for the years 1958 to 1973…

There's an even bigger gap for births! :-)

Look up the death on FreeBMD, then you can order the certificate on GRO with the reference...

I managed to get a death certificate for 1963. I got that via GRO about 10 years ago.

Ohhhh! Brilliant thank you

Do you know any details around their death such as the location? If you do you can contact the local council for a copy of the certificate, you don't have to contact GRO. It's normally transcribed through council aswell.
