help regarding death records

[Jeff GTi]

i know this aint necessarilly 9n3 related, but i need help and you lot may know

im trying to trace some family and need to know if they are still alive, i have a suspicion they have now passed and have been trying to search through death recods, but you have to subscribe and pay to use them, is there an alternative way i can find out, ideally free of charge other than travelling to that burough council to look through electoral and death records?

cheers

jeff

As tracing family trees is quite fashionable nowadays, I'd reckon that there will be no free way to find any thing out - other that as you said visiting the "parish" that they were last known to live in. Once you have subscribed I'd imagine that for a short period or for checking so many records, you would gain access to what you needed - never tried it though, might some day but I tend to know all about at least the previous 3 generations (well think that I know!!).
