Manchester Death 1987

[dagian]

Would be grateful if anyone can help. I was given partial details of a death record I wish to order from GRO.

Arthur Delaney (or Arthur McEvoy Delaney)
died 1987 Dec Qtr Manchester Vol 38 958

FreeBMD does not provide any detail and I am concerned that without the particular area of Manchester where the death was registered it may not be traced.

Does anyone know if this will suffice?

That is all the details you will get from any of the indexes and is exactly what you need to order the certificate.

You just have to cross your fingers and hope it is yours

Just realised my mistake - I had not noticed that Manchester is no longer split into different areas ie. North, South etc.

But the month is wrong
Probably this is the reference you're looking for?

Name: Arthur McEroy Delaney
Birth Date: 9 Dec 1927
Death Registration Month/Year: Apr 1987
Age at death (estimated): 59
Registration district: Manchester
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 38
Page: 958

You can order from the GRO for £7.00 (including worldwide postage). All the data you need is in red above, but you will need to enter the month and year of registration in the form 04/1987

Sorry, I do not have access to check a 1987 death.

I stand corrected. Thanks Kerrywood.

[Kerrywood]

Sorry, I thought you had Ancestry. Maybe not ...

No I'm obviously the tonight, must be tired

I went to the "Complete BMD Index ranges & Images 1837-1983"

instead of the "Complete BMD Indexes 1984-2005"

Great !!
I would have ordered the wrong Certificate if you had not posted the correction to the Quarter he died.
As always, there is always something wrong with reported details - his name was Arthur McEvoy Delaney. He was my G Uncle and I have his birth Certificate.
The only thing I am missing now is his marriage certificate which so far I cannot trace on FreeBMD or The Genealogist. His mother and father were Music Hall artists with a variety of stage names which have caused a lot of confusion.

Thanks again

Maybe I have the wrong subscription - I am using The Genealogist .. doesn't seem to provide the info you guys have. Should I change?

Hi,
Have just discovered (via a new cousin) that my GGG grandfather James Delaney of Kilkenny married a Catherine McEvoy circa 1815 in Kilkenny.

Their son Martin and his wife Judith Collins were sponsored to Australia by a Nicholas James and they arrived in Sydney on board the "Susan" on 25 March 1841.

Do you have any info re the McEvoy part of your Delaney relatives?

One never knows the twists and turns on family searches.
