Lancashire / Re: Mystery Deaths
« on: Wednesday 09 July 25 22:42 BST (UK)  »
I've had a look in the newspapers in Lancashire (Findmypast) and can't see anything helpful there.  As has already been suggested, buying the digital death certs would answer your question.

Trying to pick an alternative to Ancestry is like trying to choose a toilet at Glastonbury.

Glen, that's a brilliant analogy - really made me laugh.

Zaph, I had been reading this article just before I saw your post.  It's shocking to read what people can get away with if they have the nerve.  It's also unbelievable that the police and the probate service took no action.  Not so surprising - HMRC are now interested as there may be inheritance tax to pay.

I renewed yesterday. Was offered 50% as a "loyal" customer. Phoned up and pleaded poverty so they gave me another 15% off. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Well done SS, I'll try that next time.

My only concern is the possibility of losing my attachments/records..

Don't worry, everything will still be there when you re-subscribe, you just cannot view the records without a sub.  I have been doing this for years and there has never been a problem.  :)

Bad luck about the fridge Macwil, but you can't be without one - especially in this heat!  Fingers crossed for you for the 90% discount  ;D

I let my sub expire a few days ago hoping they would offer me a discount.  I also had an email yesterday offering me 50% discount with a promo code ending 2nd July.

I am going to take it as I don't think they will go any further (and I'm not very good at holding my nerve  ::))

Macwil - I will be kicking myself when you pop back and say you got an even better deal  ;D

The second son changed his surname from Cripps to Lutz by deed poll on 19 April 1966, a month before his engagement announcement. (The London Gazette. Publication date:21 April 1966, Issue:43957, Page:4921)
