-A death certificate usually gives the death date and death place, the full name of the decedent, their sex and age, their occupation (with children usually a parent is named here), the cause of death and the name, residence and relationship of the informant to the decedent. Also included is the date that the event was registered and the name of the registrar.<br>
+A death certificate usually gives:
+*death date and place
+*full name of the decedent, their sex and age, their occupation (or for a child, usually the name of a parent)
+*cause of death
+*name, residence and relationship of the informant to the decedent
+*date registered and the name of the registrar.<br>
 On certificates for adults, the names of parents are never given. In considering whether to order a death certificate, remember that the information on the certificate may be limited or inaccurate because it is based on the <u>informant’s</u> knowledge. It can be helpful for those looking for clues about persons born or married before July 1837.
