Line 133: Line 148:




For a married or widowed woman a spouse’s name is sometimes recorded. Where a child has died, the child’s occupation is often given as “son or daughter of …”. In the Northern counties, the father’s names of unmarried adult females are often recorded. Since December 2005 in the Irish Republic the deceased’s date&nbsp;and place of birth and parents’ full names are recorded. In Northern Ireland, since 1973 death records have stated the deceased person’s date&nbsp;and place of birth.
