Hi,
I am trying to purchase a copy of a death certificate for an ancestor of mine.
I have the following information from FreeBMD (via Ancestry)
Name: James Brown
Quarter: Oct-Dec
Place: Linton, Cambridgeshire
Death Date: Dec 1837
Vol: 14
Page: 49
However, when I go to GRO to order the certificate, no match is found so, therefore, I am unable to order it.
Does anyone here know if the certificate may be available from a records office in Cambridgeshire itself .. and be able to point out how I reach it? (I'm in Australia so am unable to visit in person).
Many thanks,
Sandra

I can see the death registration on the GRO for James BROWN Dec qtr 1837 at Linton Union (14/49) aged 60. Are you sure you have entered the correct info?

Don't forget that if you select "Digital Image" on GRO you can now get it instantly for just £2.50

Thank you SO much everyone! :) I now realise the silly mistake I made. Rather than Linton, I entered Cambridgeshire into the place of death.
I have now ordered and received the digital certificate...and looked at and uploaded the burial record.
Your advice has been wonderful. Thank you! :)
