If you are asking for information from the death cert - it can't be done.  Members of the public do not have access to those records so you would have to buy a copy of the cert to get further info

Have you checked freebmd which is the only source we would use for this type of info.  Is he on the 1911 census

You can search for certificates on Sunderland City Council website
 www.sunderland.gov.uk .   Look under Registrars Index
you'll still have to buy the cert to see if its him though!

According to  Sunderland Registrars Indexes at http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1399 a death for a Stephen Johnson was registered in 1912, but his age is 0 according to http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/

Where did you get your info from re: his death.  There is no Stephen/Steven Johnson death in his age range up to 1914

I wonder if 6 was mistaken for 0 when the register was copied? It might be worth contacting Sunderland to ask about that MarQ death as otherwise the only death for a 6 year old Johnson between 1911-1914 was an Amy L in DecQ1911.

The birth of a Stephen R. Johnson was registered in Sunderland in the Dec ¼1911.

Thanks for all your replies.I am still puzzled as to what happened to Steven born 1905 I have him on the 1911 census with the right family and the address is right but then in Sept 1911 StephenR Johnson was born to the family,( that was my father)so it seems strange they give another child the same name, so I just presumed that Steven 1905 could have died and they gave his brother the name. anyway thanks for all the help. i will jiust have to keep looking.....regards Valerie (mackim)
