I have a certificate for a Sarah Clements died 9 September 1904 age 78 and have no idea who she is her father was a George Clements who was a steel works manager - any takers?

Hi John, Even if you do not get any takers for the certificate there is still something you can do which will be of use to others.

Go into FreeBMD, find her record and add a postem to the record. It is quite easy to do just click on info beside the name, it is written in red.

If you have received the certificate from GRO it will give the Volume and page numbers which you can use to isolate the correct entry.

In the info screen click on the postem option and type in the details of the certificate. Then click on Create to save the entry.

Sometimes the postem does not appear for a while so don't worry if you can't see the little envelope.
This way the next person who is looking for that particular death has the info already there for elimination purposes.

And if you are really keen and have access to Ancestry do the same in there as well.

John
Is this the Sarah?
Was all that information on the death certificate....that's rather unusual for someone of that age.
