Have Pmd a link Elaine just in case you don't have it

Thankyou Rambling Rose (I want to sing the song everytime I write your nick name LOL) You have been very helpful and most gracious in your help. I am sure my cousin will have an amazing time in good old mother England.
I will head off to the library tomorrow and see what I can follow through with what you have given me. And also visit LDS genealogy centre. My time is slowly running out for her but will do what we can.
Thanks again.
Cheers Elaine from Oz

Certificates for births, deaths and marriage

The Enfield Register Office offers a replacement birth, death and marriage certificate ordering service for events that occured in the London Borough of Enfield since 1837.

A certified copy certificate can only be obtained from the Register Office in the district where the event occurred. The applicant must be able to supply details to enable us to search for the required entry. Applications can be made in person at the Register Office or by post.

Customers can carry out their own general search of our indexes. This is strictly by appointment only and a fee applies.

How to apply for a copy certificate
Any person can apply for a copy certificate providing they have enough information for us to correctly indentify the entry they require. An application form should be completed or a letter from the applicant detailing the following information:

Name, addressand telephone number of the person requesting the certificate;
Full name at birth, death or both names of the bride and groom;
Date of the event;
Name of the hospital, address where the event occurred, or church;
Correct fee;
First-class stamped self-addressed envelope.

If you do not have the basic information it may not be possible to locate the entry required and the certificate will not be issued. In this instance, customers are directed to the General Register Office on 01704 569824.

How long will it take to issue a copy cerfiticate?
We aim to issue certificates within 5 working days from receipt of the written request. At times of high demand the time taken to produce a certificate will increase.

I'm not very well up on getting certs, other than on-line ordering from the GRO but if you ask on boards someone will have experience of ordering them from the local register office I'm sure.

Hornsey was included in the Edmonton reg' district, so looking possible

Thanks for trying she may have to go to BDM and purchase a death certificate to save some leg work, Is there such a place in London to do this. I mean visit and purchase same?

Thankyou.
I have the 1901 cenus which says Parish of Hornsey is this near Edmonton?

"Those who wish to carry out a manual search of the cemeteries burial records may do so by appointment. Alternatively, we can search the records for you although there will be a charge for this service. Please contact the Cemeteries Office to make an appointment."
So doesn't seem they have any online records unfortunately,

From his DOB this looks like the most likely death, but can't be certain

Henry James Eason

Year of Registration: 1904
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at Death: 64
District: Edmonton
County: Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex

which might tie in wiith

Name: Elizabeth Eason
Estimated birth year: abt 1840
Year of Registration: 1903
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at Death: 63
District: Edmonton
County: Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex

can you possibly give me a heads up on cemetery sites. She has a letter written by Florence Minnie in about 1917 and mentions her parents grave site in the London area somewhere, I do not know Henry James death date the one born in 1840. Or where should she go to find out .
Thanks
Elaine

Just give me a shout if there's anything else I can maybe help with Elaine, to give your cousin a 'head start' , I hope she enjoys herself :))

That is great Rambling Rose my cousin is off to England next tuesday and is wanting to trace her family, cemeteries etc. Her father was born in Leighton Buzzard and her Grandfather a proprietor of the Leighton Buzzard Hotel 1906-1907. I have all those details but just needed her GGrandparents etc

Going on her DOB from that census I think this could well be Elizabeth White on the 1861 in Dorset
