Dear Karen,

Thank you for your emails of 21 August and 9 September 2026.

Your 9 September message repeats the 21 August reply and does not address
my follow-up of 21 August 2026 (13:31), which attached the only document I
hold for Mary Doreen Williams and asked specific questions about the March
1983 registration. I set out below only those points that fall within the
Register Office.

1. William (Billy) Buckler — entry you confirm you hold
Please confirm in writing that:
(a) Cardiff Register Office holds the death entry;
(b) the entry will be retained and will not be destroyed;
(c) the registration particulars needed to order a certified copy, namely
exact date of death, district, volume and page (or equivalent register
reference).

I will consider placing the order. Please confirm whether you need anything
further from me before I pay (priority £38.50 or standard £12.50).

2. Mary Doreen Williams — entry you say you cannot locate
I already supplied:
- full name: Mary Doreen Williams
- date of birth: 10 August 1913
- death registered: March 1983, South Glamorgan
- GRO index: Volume 28, Page 3029
- supporting document attached to my 21 August email

Please confirm:
(a) whether that 21 August attachment was received and reviewed;
(b) whether the search included Volume 28, Page 3029 for March 1983, South
Glamorgan;
(c) which indexes and years were searched, and under which name variants
(Mary, Doreen, Mary D, Williams);
(d) if Cardiff does not hold the entry, which office should hold a March
1983 South Glamorgan death, or whether I should order from GRO using Vol 28
/ Page 3029;
(e) if the entry is found, whether the index or register shows anything
unusual for March 1983 (for example a gap between date of death and date of
registration, or any other feature visible on the face of the record).

Point (e) is a request about the registration record only. I am not asking
the Register Office to comment on title, planning, or any other matter
outside civil registration.

I would be grateful for a written reply to each of 1(a)–(c) and 2(a)–(e).

Yours sincerely,

Sion Buckler
