1. England & Wales, Death Index, 1866-1920 & 1984-2005

   Thomas Havery<br>Death date: Oct-Nov-Dec 1904<br>Death place: St Albans, Hertfordshire, England<br>Birth date: Circa 1832<br>Age: 72<br&gt;Volume: 3a<br>Page: 401

   Civil registration—the government recording of births, marriages, and deaths—began in England and Wales on 1 July 1837. Local registration districts had jurisdiction for recording civil events, but were required to send copies of their records each quarter to the General Register Office (GRO) in London. The GRO created indexes to these records which are organized by event, year, and quarter, and thereunder alphabetically by surname.Information included in the death index changed over the years. The death index for 1866 to 1920 provides the name of deceased, age at death, registration district, and reference information (volume and page numbers). From 1984 to 2005 the index includes the deceased’s birth date rather than age.Information provided in the index can be used to order a copy of the person’s death certificate for a fee from the GRO through their Certificate Ordering Service. Depending on the year, full death certificates may provide: name of deceased, death date, death place, age, sex, occupation, cause of death, name of parent if the deceased is a child, informant’s name, residence, and relationship to the deceased, and date of registration.Note: Information recorded on a death certificate is only as accurate as the knowledge of the person reporting it. It is important to pay attention to who the informant was and their relationship to the deceased. The closer the relationship, the more reliable the information likely is.For years where images of the index are available, be sure to consult the image to verify the information presented to you. Sometimes errors happen during the transcription process. For example, a "5" may have inadvertently been transcribed as a "3". Since there is a fee for ordering certificate copies from the GRO, it is especially important to make sure all reference numbers are correct before placing an order.Search tip: If an individual had multiple given names, sometimes only one or two of these names was recorded in the index. In addition, some of the given names may have been recorded by initials only. If you’re having trouble locating someone in the index, try searching by any of the individual’s known given names, initials, or nicknames.

2. England & Wales, Index of Wills and Probates, 1853-1943

   The England & Wales Index to Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration, 1853-1943, collection spans an important development in English probate law. Prior to 1858, grants of probate and letters of administration fell under the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts of the Church of England: primarily the Prerogative Court of York and the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. This collection contains an index of grants of probate and letters of administration made in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury from 1853 to 1857. As the highest ecclesiastical court, the Prerogative Court of Canterbury was responsible for probating the estates of an individual meeting any of the following criteria:
   
   

   • High level of personal wealth
   • Property in more than one diocese in the Province of Canterbury
   • Property in both the Province of York and the Province of Canterbury
   • Died outside of England, but owned property in England

   
   Therefore, it was very uncommon for an individual to have enough wealth or property for a grant of probate or letter of administration to be made in the Court of Canterbury. If an individual is found in the Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration made in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, it may be possible to find a copy of their will at the National Archives of England.
   
   The Court of Probate Act of 1857 created a new civil court that centralized all grants of probates and letters of administration, effectively transferring all jurisdiction from the ecclesiastical courts of the Church of England to Her Majesty’s Court of Probate. The majority of records in this collection are dated after 1857 and were therefore administered in the Court of Probate. Even though this act centralized the administration of estates, it was still uncommon for an individual to leave a will to be probated. Therefore, this collection remains a good substitute for, or supplement to, the death records of relatively wealthy individuals.
   
   This collection is an index of a variety of legal documents but is composed of primarily four document types:
   
   

   1. Grants of Probate: Legal documents that authorize the executor(s) to administer a deceased individual’s estate according to the provisions of the will.
   2. Letters of Administration: Legal authority for the executor(s) to administer a deceased individual’s estate when no will was made prior to death.
   3. Scottish Confirmation: The Scottish equivalent of a grant of probate.
   4. Eik to a Confirmation: A supplementary document to an existing confirmation for additional assets not listed in the original confirmation.

   
   This collection does not contain any copies of the original wills. However, it may be possible to find the copies of wills for individuals found within this index. For individuals who died in England, in or after 1858, their wills may be found by searching the records of the United Kingdom. For individuals who died in Scotland before 1926, their wills may be found through a paid search of ScotlandsPeople.
   
   While primarily composed of individuals who were living in England and Wales, this collection does include the information of deceased persons living throughout the British Empire, as long as the decedent owned property in England or Wales. While relatively few in number, this collection contains records of individuals who resided in the following countries:
   
   Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, Jersey, Isle of Man, South Africa, Guernsey, Prussia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Canada, United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Egypt, China, Japan, Singapore, East Indies, Burma, Turkey, Malta, West Africa, Nairobi, East Africa, Syria, Nigeria, Uganda, Monaco, Guyana, Mauritius, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Algiers, Canary Islands, Mesopotamia (Iraq), Macedonia, Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Jamaica, Mexico, Barbados, Trinidad, Argentina, and the West Indies.

   What can you find in the census?Census returns can help you determine who your ancestors were, and can also tell you:- Where your ancestors were living- Who they were living with- What their occupations were- If they had any servants- Who their neighbours were- If they had any brothers and sisters- What their ages were at the time of the census- If they had any disabilities.As well as giving you the above information, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows you to track the movements of your ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations.The fields which have been transcribed for the census are:- First name- Middle name- Last name- Sex- Birth place- Age- Place of residence- County- Relationship to head of householdWhy this collection is so valuableCensus records are valuable since they can tell you where a person lived at a certain place and time. Censuses were conducted by the federal government and will offer a variety of information, depending on year. Census records can answer questions like where your ancestors were living at the time the census was taken, who they were living with, what their occupations were, who their neighbors were, if they had any brothers and sisters, what their ages were at the time of the census and if they had any disabilities.Searching the censusThe golden rule of family history is to check the original historical record, or 'primary source', wherever possible. We have provided clear images of the original census enumeration books for you to view once you've found the right family in the indexes. When using census returns you should first search the transcriptions to help locate your ancestor in the census, and then view the original images to validate your findings. It will also help you see the household in the context of surrounding households. This is particularly important as transcribing an entire census is a huge and difficult task, and whilst we have used the expertise of our transcribers and the experience of key representatives from the genealogy community to help us translate the records, it is inevitable that there will be some errors.Next stepsWith the information you gain from these census records, you will have the information you need to search for vital records in the locality where you found your ancestor. Also, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows you to track the movements of our ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations.
