whitehorses Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Hi I don't currently live in Sheffield but I'm trying to find out if someone has died (Don't want to give out names on here) . My problem is that online records only seem to show deaths up to about the 80's and I want to know about 2022/23. I emailed the register office in Sheffield over three weeks ago but as yet no reply.I cannot ring them to find out because none of the 'Options' on their recorded message gets me through to a PERSON to ask what I need to know. So basically what I suppose I'm asking is..am I missing something? Is there any way I can find out about recent Sheffield deaths online ??? Thanks for any help .

Re-Enactor Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Try looking on Sheffield Star Announcements might have had one put in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also depends on when the death happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Enactor Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Also try Familysearch.org, sometimes recent deaths are shown Family-notices.co.uk give that a go Edited March 27, 2023 by Re-Enactor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 You could try the Corroner's Office at the Medico Legal Centre. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey19 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Try the General Register Office. Details are online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehorses Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Thanks for all replies so far.I will try the coroner's office ,thanks Anna,also I will try the searches you suggest Re-Enactor,thanks. Star obits won't be any use as there was no family to place an announcement. Thanks harvey19 but I'm not getting anywhere with the register Office. Pattricia.. Can't believe you're still on here, hope you are well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All BDM s are sent there from all over the country. you can get their details from the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehorses Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Hi Everyone, Just as an update: We found out what we wanted to know but had to resort to phoning local funeral directors who were very helpful, so if anyone else reading this is ever in the same position, the last resort worked for us. Thanks for all who tried to help. Edited April 19, 2023 by whitehorses mis spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
