Sketchy information

@ Clarah,

Let us know how things turn out ... when you eventually get the certificate, that is

3 weeks turnaround is a right pain, true! Not much that can be done about it though!

Usually a lot quicker with a transcription agent most I have waited is 4 days,  they will email it to you once they get the copy

I just got the death cert today which was very fast but it was for the wrong person. When I did my search it didn't give me enough info to work out if it was or was not the right person.
All i know is name , parents names , and date of birth and addresses as a child. Would the searchers be of any use? Also Now I have a lovely death cert that may be of use to someone else, what should I do with it?

Oh dear that was a shame

you can send the certificate to Gordon Beach

http://ausbdm.ucoz.org/

He is doing wonderfull thing by collecting as many certificates that he can and then making them available to all  to save people the cost etc of getting them.
I have sent him details of all mine and have had a couple of requests from new found family members for them,


Don't know how to help you any furter though with the enormous amount of John Murphy listed.

It is possible the informant did not know his fathers name and it would not show on the death details.

I have gone back and looked at the baptismal record and find John is John L Murphy. I have no idea what the L stands for. Is there any way that would help? He may never have used .
