Subject: RE: Mary Doreen Williams — death registration — request passed from Vale of Glamorgan Registration Service on 30 September 2026 From: Denham, Karen (Registrars) Direction: received Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 08:48 UTC Institution: Glamorgan Archives Refs: none Archive id: gm-1a13472b496a2845 ------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Sion I have checked with the Glamorgan Archives to see what districts would have come under South Glamorgan in 1983 and they give me Bridgend. Pontypridd and Merthyr Tydfil. I have checked with all these districts and they do not hold a death record for Mary Doreen Williams in the March qtr of 1983. I have also checked with Thornhill Crematorium to see if they had a burial or cremation record here in Cardiff and they don’t hold any record either. They also checked Glyntaff Crematorium and Coychurch Crematorium and they don’t hold any record of the burial or cremation there either. As previously discussed with you if you quote VOLUME 28 PAGE NO 3029 to our head office they will do a copy of the certificate from there for you. Their contact telephone number is [phone redacted] or alternatively you can email Order a birth, death, marriage or civil partnership certificate - GOV.UK. There is nothing more that I can do for you with this request as we do not hold the record here in Cardiff. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help to you and good luck in your search.

Note. If you quote this to our head office based in Southport they can do the certificate from there for you In 1983 South Glamorgan was a vast area so the registration could be in any district. If you would like I will pass this on to our team at the Glamorgan Archives and they can tell you which register office that you would need to contact but advised previously it is better to get a copy of the certificate from our head office as we definitely do not hold the record for Mary Doreen Williams here with us in Cardiff.

Dear Ms Denham, Mary Doreen Williams: death registration On 30 September 2026 the Vale of Glamorgan Registration Service told me they could not find a death record for Mary Doreen Williams in the Vale, and that they had passed my request to Cardiff. I have not had a reply from Cardiff. Please could you: 1. confirm whether Cardiff Register Office holds a registration of death for Mary Doreen Williams; 2. if it does, tell me how I can obtain a certified copy and the fee; and 3. if it does not, tell me which indexes and registers were searched, so that I can search the GRO death index for the correct registration district. If you need further details to carry out the search (approximate date or place of death, date of birth, last address), please tell me what you need and I will supply it. I am asking as a family member and I need the registration for estate administration. Thank you for your help.
