Is it possible to find out if someone you knew had died??..in UK specific?

Question

i know this question may seem odd to most but its a serious question

i want to know if it is possible to find out if someone you knew (a past friends) had passed away.. (without obviosly being in contact with anyone who knew of their death)

where i could go, who i could speak with, etc.. to find out this info in the UK??

Answer 1

I can access death index from 1984 to 2005.

If you would like me have a look, email me through my profile and I will have a look for you.

Dont put their name on here.

If possible, a rough idea of what their age would be now and the area.  Even a county would help.

Answer 2

well, if they are not dead you wont find anything about there death.

is it someone you don't want to know where you are ??

if you know where they lived, what house and street you could check to see if they are still on the electoral roll there, if they are not but the people that where living there with them still are it might be coz they have died.

or if you know they lived in a town then you can see if the persons death has been registered there.

but if they where taken ill and moved to a far off hospital then they wont be registered in there home town, its very hard really

Answer 3

You need ancestry.co.uk for this.

I am a subsciber. If you email me (see my profile page) with the name and rough year of birth of the person I will check it out for you and let you know.

Answer 4

Try the "Births, marriages and deaths" website. All of these must legally be registered in the UK.
