I am an Australian and am wondering what information is included on a Welsh death cert in the 1890s. I am wondering if it is worthwhile buying one at this point in time.

Thanks!

By comparison with an Australian one, very little.
Scotland had its own system, but Wales is the same as England, so...

Date of death.
Where died - Often just a parish name, not a proper address.
Name, sex and age.
Occupation - If married/widowed female, likely to be wife/widow of whoever. If child, likely to show parental name(s) but don't rely on it.
Cause of death, informant's name and address, date the death was registered and Registrar's signature.
