charlie962 Posted 30 June , 2020 Share Posted 30 June , 2020 This man appears as died Zhob, 1930 in the GRO Army Deaths Indices on FindmyPast here. Can I obtain a copy death certificate that gives me more than appears in the Index ? I cannot quite work out if and how . I'm pretty sure it is a Great War soldier that I am researching.. But I need service number to confirm. Help please! Many thanks in advance Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 30 June , 2020 Share Posted 30 June , 2020 (edited) Charlie Do you think that this looks like the 91561 RFA Albert V Ives ? To Mespot on 18 Aug 1915,captured at the fall of Kut on 29 April 1916 and a POW under the Turks until 12 Dec 1918 ? Zhog (aka Fort Sandeman, Quetta, Balochistan) in 1930 was still a British fort. I am wondering if you can find info on death from the WO156 series at Kew. Edited 30 June , 2020 by sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He survived Kut and continued after 1920 to serve, but in the RASC. There is no obvious MoD Held Service File to match him. Tapping Ives and WO156 into Discovery does not find me anything. I am aware that there is an on-line ordering system for copy death certificates of the normal UK type, although I've never used it. I was wondering if this facility extends tio the GRO Army Deaths Indices. What the FMP transcription says is, courtesy FindmyPast, : Source Gro Army Death Indices (1881 To 1955) Archive reference DARM War - Record set British Armed Forces And Overseas Deaths And Burials First name(s) Albert V Sex Male Last name Ives Death year 1930 Birth year 1893 Type Armed Forces Place Zhob Page 29 Age 37 Birth date ? ? 1893 Registration year - Branch of service - Decoration - Records year range 1930 Line number 14 Archive General Register Office Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records Subcategory Civil Deaths & Burials Collections from Great Britain, UK None Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaureenE Posted 1 July , 2020 Share Posted 1 July , 2020 You can order the certificate from the GRO online, (a fee applies) quoting, I would expect, Gro Army Death Indices (1881 To 1955) Death Year 1930 Page 29 Line number 14 , Name For more details, see the FIBIS Fibiwiki page Chaplains Returns https://wiki.fibis.org/w/Chaplains_Returns Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 1 July , 2020 Author Share Posted 1 July , 2020 thanks Maureen , i'll look at that as it is what I am after. Initial look suggests the 'cheeper' online pdf is not available for these. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
