Family History Beginners Board / Re: Death Certificate
« on: Thursday 31 October 24 12:39 GMT (UK) »The Death was registered in Cardiff in May 2024.
Because of the extra space need for Welsh/English translations of the headings, death certificates in Wales are slightly different and go to a second page.
Space 9 ( the cause of death/achos marwolaeth) should be on the back, or on a 2nd sheet.
Thanka AMMM - that explains it - I have a photocopy of only the top page.

« on: Thursday 31 October 24 10:55 GMT (UK) »You do not indicate in which country you are referring to, presuming it is the UK, there is a large space number 8 for cause of dearth, directly beneath the address of the informant. I am not aware of any changes since the most recent death certificate I have seen dated 2022.
Thanks.

Registered a relative's Death recently and surprised to see that there is no place for Cause of Death to be noted on the Certificate.

1891 Census RG12/4629/82/4/22
Brook House, 22 Ruthin Road, Denbigh
Robert Roberts 48 married Thrashing Engine Driver born Bontuchel
Jane Roberts 59 married b. Nantglyn
Mary Ann Roberts 15 daughter - general servant b.Denbigh

12 Independ Chapel Llanrhaeadr Y C
Robert Roberts 55 married Temper Fowler b Bontuchel
Jane Roberts 64 married b.Nantglyn
--------------------------------------
Comparing their ages on both censuses they don't match but I think it's the right family.
Is there a Chapel Cemetery in Llanrhaeadr - might they be buried there ?

The Lighter Side / Re: Findagrave query
« on: Sunday 18 August 24 19:23 BST (UK) »
A friend, very keen footballer supporter found the grave of the person who founded 'his' football club.
He found a descendant of the founder and this person gave permission for my friend to look after the grave. He needed this permission from the Cemetery mangers.
Each year he makes a 400 mile trip to a Cemetery to do this.

an interesting question - we can access our medical records but don't think about our school records.
My guess is that records if they exist are only available to the person involved.
I sent for my college records some years ago and I just got a short note showing what grades I got - nothing I didn't know already.
A teacher friend tell me that everything about a child is recorded nowadays - test results - any disciplinary issues, however minor. Don't know how long these records are kept or if they are ever made available to the child/parents.
