Deceased Online Burial Registers

[haney]

Hi
   I would like to know if anyone else has ordered a scan from Deceased Online please.

https://www.deceasedonline.com/servlet/GSDOSearch.

If anyone has used this could you let me know if there are any relevant information.

By looking at the site it seems that an Applicants name and address may be included!  Would love to find out.  Regards Dianna

Hi Please excuse the incorrect grammar. Meant to say if there is any relevant information.

I'm having a very bad morning.  LOL Thanks to all.  Dianna

Yes, I have used this Deceased online and gathered excellent information from scans of original burial records. Pretty sure if you read through the information you can pull up a sample of records.

Hi suzyvan.  Thanks for that.  Great to hear you have had success with it.  I was trying to read all of the terms and conditions and it made my head spin.  Will look into it now.  Many thanks Dianna

I have had varying results with the information given on English records, I do not know if Scottish are different.  Some just have name, age, abode and others such as a Crematorium may give information as to whether the ashes were scattered there or taken away and they name who has taken them

Hi rose99.  I guess for 2 pounds (as that seems to be the cost) I guess it will be okay.  There could be a couple/few family members buried in the same grave, that would be interesting to see.

Similar here with burials quite a few could be in the same grave. 

I'm fairly certain it would be a burial and not a cremation.  I am really curious to see it though.  Thanks Dianna

sorry rosie99.   Can't seem to get anything right today.  LOL.  Thanks Dianna

I use Deceased on Line.

You can see the people buried in the same grave from your initial search for an individual.

However if a grave number has been transcribed incorrectly - someone else can be shown as buried there! That happened with my grandparents grave. There was a stranger with them.

When I looked at the original register entry for that person - it gave her husband's name - so I looked for him, found him and I could see his grave number - and could also tell how my 'stranger's' grave number had been mistranscribed. I think it depends on the cemetery and possibly the period - as to the details included.

I contacted Deceased on Line about the error and they corrected it.

In my local cemetery, it usually says things like 'wife of' or 'widow of' - where they died, and if it was in hospital - sometimes their home address is given also. In addition you see the name of the person applying for the grave and of course - the grave number.

In cremation cases it will say if the ashes have been scattered.

I do think the info may vary from place to place though.

I've extracted quite a lot of information from DeceasedOnline. I generally take out a subscription every few years and then extract as much as I can until the subscription expires. At the moment I don't have a current subscription.

The information is only as good as what was recorded at the time of the burial. The more recent the record, the more information you tend to get, and (as a very broad generalisation) records before the 20th century are better kept in towns than they are in rural parishes.
