I'm researching the Scottish ancestry of a friend and very impressed with how much information can be obtained from a single statutory event registration.
I had found her ancestor in a census listed as a widow. Finding the subsequent death registration, I was able to discover:
• the date (and precise time) of her death, age and cause
• name and occupation of her late husband,
• her parents' names, occupations and whether they were still alive or dead
• her mother's maiden name
• the name, address, relationship and occupation of the informant (her son in this case).
That's impressive.
