Death records from Abroad
« on: Monday 24 June 19 20:42 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone
This is my first post so I hope I'm doing it correctly.  I need help in tracing my mothers death record. She died in Aden, Yemen in 1960 when I was quite young.  She went to join my father who was working out there as clerk of works for a civil building contractor contracted by the MOD.  Her name was Ellen Pritchard but was known as Helen and also sometimes called Molly.  She went out in May/June 1960 and died out there in August 1960.

I cannot trace her death certificate and I have no relatives left to ask.  I have tried many websites and also the government but there doesn't seem to be a record anywhere, even though she was a British citizen.

Can anyone help?

Hello Charliea,

Findmypast has records of British Nationals Deaths Overseas between 1818 and 2005 so they may help. 

Best of luck!

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.
