				Living in England I've grasped how to look up on the BMD site then go to
 our GRO site to order certificates.
 
 I need to look up and then order death certificates problem is I don't know their
 exact address only they lived  Northern Melbourne - Victoria, Australia.
 
 Please can anybody tell me where and how I can do it  :D
 
 Thanks

				Yvette,
 
 You can search here at this link - however it will cost you.
 https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=getHistIdxSearchCriteria
 
 Or you could post the names of the people you are searching for, and a "Chatter"who has access to the Death records (to 1985) on CD, will do a lookup for you.
 
 Then with this information you can order (or download)  the record from the Registry of BMD's. If you click on the link, I have given you, you can go the Home page and find all the information that you need.
 
 Hope this helps.

 Sarra,
 
 Thank you that's great, very helpful.
 
 If I was to post their names would I do it here... or in a different area of this site? Rootschat is quite new to me   :-\
 
 Would it just be their names or approx date of deaths as well?
 Yvette
- 
				IT would be better if you can tell us  their names and maiden name if a married woman and  if you have  the details their parents names and when they were born.
 
 Victorian certificates have a good deal of information on them. but  the record will only be as good as the informants knowledge of the deceased
 
 
 
 thanks Jenn

				Thank you soooo much for your hard work ~Merlin~ ;)
 
 With this information now I will be able to purchase their death

				I have been In touch with my Aunt who I got the information from and Brian lived in,     Queensland, Townsville & Region - Queensland.
 
 I hope that helps?
 
 Dora Stone (nee Grazier) was the mother and William Stone was the father to Joy,Brian and Martin she also lost a son in this country, they all died quite young and I want to know what of?
 
 They moved from England in the 1970's to Australia.
 
 They probably did have middle names, but my aunts notes are rather sketchy. :-\ sorry.

 I dont think you will be able to get their death certificates too easily for  the family members who died in the 1990's etc etc as Australia is not like England in that regard as we have time limits on  how long a person has been deceased before open access to certificates
 
 thanks Jenn

 thanks for adding that in Merlin, I did indeed neglected  to add the year

 As I live in Townsville I shall check with the cemetery today to see if Brian sStone is buried their
 Jenn
- 
				Thank you
 
 So I may not be able to find out what they died of?
 
 hhmm
 
 How long do I have to wait before I can have a cert?
 
 Yvette
- 
				If you look at the link that Sarra gave you in reply no 1 you will see that you can apply in some instances after 10 years but you need proof of identiy ec.
 
 tPerhaps if you sent an email to the Victorian BDM stating your case you could find out from them as to the requirements.
 
 good luck Jenn

 You can see the death/funeral notice for Martin Stone
 
 It costs $5.00 AUS  to view the etire notice but you will see his wifes name and family members
 
 As he died young his wife may be still living as well
