How to Get the Most from British Death Records

How to Get the Most from British Death Records

In this wide-ranging but compassionate talk, Nicola Johnson shows how to get the most from British death records – from indexes, certificates and burial records to lesser-known sources rarely covered elsewhere, such as coroners’ inquests and death duty registers. She also gives clear guidance to finding pre-1858 wills, helping you break through long-standing brick walls and uncover ancestors who’ve eluded you for years.

Packed with practical tips and fresh leads, this session suits researchers at every level.
