How Can I Find Out About A Death ?

[whitehorses 10]

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 .

Try looking on Sheffield Star Announcements might have had one put in

Yes, the Sheffield Star has an Announcements page to inform readers of recent deaths. It also depends on when the death happened.

Also try Familysearch.org, sometimes recent deaths are shown

 

 

Family-notices.co.uk   give that a go

You could try the Corroner's Office at the Medico Legal Centre.

It’s possible but the days are long gone when it was the thing to do.

Try the General Register Office.

Details are online.

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 !

I meant the General Register Office not the local one.

All BDM s are sent there from all over the country.

you can get their details from the internet.

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.
