Death records in 2022

[rosie99]

I wouldn’t be happy seeing a family member’s death and associated details on Ancestry. 

I don't mean to be rude, but this is a very odd thing to say, considering the entire purpose of the Ancestry website and the entire field of genealogy is to document the life, death and associated details of every family member in recorded history.

Probably Ruskie feels like that as records in Australia are not available for recent times like they are in the UK.   I don't have a problem with Ancestry posting this information but I wish they would make sure it is accurate.

If you wanted to see full DOB for recent deaths in the indexes you'd have to go to one of 7 libraries to view them on microfiche, I know one of the 7 libraries is Westminster Archives Centre, which do deaths up to about 6 months ago, as said they are the GRO indexes but at least have full DOB unlike the GRO website which has just year of birth.
