Are there MI booklets for Hertfordshire &, if so, does anyone do lookups? I am searching for WILLIAM THOMAS SPOUSE, 72 years, who's death was registered 3/4 of 1947 in Biggleswade. The family lived at Greenfield, St. Johns Road in Hemel Hempstead in 1924 however I understand there was a large hospital in Biggleswade so he may have died in hospital. Many thanks - Joan

See http://www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/data/bmd/memorials.... for information as to where to look for memorial inscriptions in Hertfordshire.

However most will not cover 20th century burials in town cemeteries - and you should contact the relevant town council as they will have records - if you provide the name and date of death (as described on the death certificate. The death certificate may well provide sufficient information to find an announcement of the death (and perhaps even an obituary or even more if there had to be an inquest) in the appropriate local newspaper.

Thanks Chris

I will follow up on your advice & hope for the best.
