For instance I know of someone who was attending a TB hospital on the Sussex coast which was owned & run by a London Borough. Her death was registered in the London Borough, not in the Borough where the hospital was.

Highcroft Hospital is in Erdington Birmingham , It was used for patients that suffered from mental problems ,I know that the person I am looking for was a permanent patient ,and died there , but I cannot find their death ,from what I have been told he was alive in the early sixties , but there is no one alive now to know when he actually died . I have searched FreeBMD ,Ancestry,FMP,and Genes Reunited. I have sent a E.Mail to Birmingham Library asking if they have any information on the hospital and its patients ,and hoping they will be able to help .

My cousin came to visit a couple of months ago. His gran and my gran are sisters. We had always known my Granddad as George and it wasn't until I started my research about 15 years ado that we found out his name was Albert George, although his death cert still says George. When my cousin referred to my gran and granddad, he called them Antie Maggie and Uncle Albert. So some of the family had used his real name.
