DEATH CERTIFICATES

I am researching an airman for his family. He was originally from the Bahamas, and was serving in the Royal Canadian Airforce, 622 squadron, based at Mildenhall.

He died on February 12, 1945 in London and his record says " Fell outside Nell Gwynn House, London and died ". That is in Sloane Avenue London SW3

I would like to buy his death certificate to determine the exact cause of death, but it is not registered as a death on the usual GRO site.

www.gov.uk/government/publications/death...ate-application-form

Can anyone help guide me on this please?

I checked the link above, and your man does not have a pdf service record available through it

I cannot tell if the ancestry.ca site does but maybe one of our canadian members is also a member there

Presumably you have the Graves Registration Report Forms from CWGC?

Sorry my membership is only for the UK site

I checked the CWGC record but not sure if I know what the Graves Registration Report Forms are. I went to the index and clicked the obvious links.

I checked again and I have been looking at the Registration forms.

This is a shot of an entry in the book by the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum, "They Shall Not Grow Old". It is not a primary source, and the entry has nothing that the previous posts have detailed.

His service record is on Ancestry including Death Certificate (issued in Canada).. He died when he fell from the sixth floor of a hotel in London.

Thank you Martin. That is very helpful.
