Having narrowed down the options for the Death of Ellis Blackburn to:- Estimated Birth Year: abt 1827 Year of Registration: 1895 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar Age at Death: 68 District: Burnley County: Lancashire, Yorkshire - West Riding Volume: 8e Page: 225 Is there any way I can confirm the records without requesting a Death Certificate, bearing in mind I live in North Wales (not that there's anything wrong with that)? |

Have you tried looking for burial records - which may give additional information. Or obituaries in local papers? |

Thanks Portia, not sure how to go about either of the actions you suggest. |

If the person was wealthy, there may have been an obituary in the paper. I think, though I can't be sure, that Burnley library have an index for the newspaper entries. It may be worth contacting them to ask of they do. Otherwise, I think it's a case of paying your £7 and taking pot luck. |
