Death Indexes (BMD Indexes)
 The Death indexes are lists of people, arranged by surname, in the quarter in which the event occurred (Jan - Mar, Apr - Jun, Jul - Sep, Oct - Dec), from 1837 to the current day. Different amounts of information are available depending on the type of index and the date it was recorded.
E.g. If Mabel Smith died on February 2nd 1892 her entry would be found in the first quarter of the year 1892, under Smith. What must be remembered when using these registers, however is that you have 6 weeks to register an event and so someone who died in December 1892 might also be found in the first quarter of 1893. Different events have different amounts of information available to view, as do different dates.
Mabel Smith, who died in 1837, would have a Surname, Forenames (or initials), District of Registration, Volume and Folio Number.
E.g.
Smith, Mabel S Sittingbourne 2b 356
The letters and numbers at the end of the entry tell you the volume the event is registered in, and the page number. This is important to note if you wish to send off for the birth certificate. from 1866 onwards the records also contain the age of the person.
E.g.
Smith, Mabel S 82 Sittingbourne 2b 356
It is also worth mentioning that there are two versions of these indexes, from the General Register Office and the Local Register Office. The original lists are held by the Local Register Offices and were then transcribed into a central index at the General Register Office. As with all human transcriptions mistakes were made and omissions occurred. If you can't find your ancestor in the GRO index it is always worth consulting a LRO index!
