1839 death certificate

Can anyone please tell me what information I would find, on a death certificate, for a death registered in 1839?
Would it be the same as a present day certificate.

Don't know about a death one, but the marriage ones I have from the 1840s do.

I suspect similar, but if other records are any indication - less detail than we get today - i.e. place of death may say "Hundred of ST Briavels" (!) rather than "Woodmans Cottage , Soudley"

Thanks for the replies. I suppose I will only find out by sending for the certificate!! I really wanted the exact date of birth but maybe being that early that may not be correct.

I have a death certificate from 1851 which gives the age but not date of birth, but this was following a coroner's inquest, who was the informant so may not be typical.
