Is anyone planning a trip to the Somerset RO anytime soon? I am hoping for a look up for the death of Thomas Edwards in the Langport district 1861-1871. I have checked 1837 online, BMD fiche at FHS, freebmd and ancestry .com but it's not there. I am hoping it will appear on the RO's copy of the indexes. I'd do the lookup myself but I live in Australia. Many thanks, Lynda |

Carol and Jim, thanks for helping. My Thomas lived in Somerton. I have the death cert dated 1870, it's for a man from Curry Mallet (from memory!) . In the 1861 census Thomas called himself BRAIN which was his fathers name. I heard the RO indexes are sometimes slightly different from those at the GRO, do you know if this is true? Lynda |

Hi, You won't find the deaths index in the record office, you need the register office for that but they will not allow you to search. Try looking for his burial which will give you a closer date then ask the register office for a search. Gwynne |

Hi Lynda, have you managed to solve the problem yet with regards to Thomas Edwards? The reason I ask is that Thomas Edwards of Curry Mallet is a very distant great, great,etc grandfather of mine. Is this one of the same person? |
