If you are lucky the Baptism record may hold the date of birth, if not then Family Bibles or Headstones are other sources to consider.....

Thanks for all the help, I possibly wouldn't get the info I needed from the certificate.

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.
William Jacobs, male, age 45 years, Labourer. Injury against a tree while holding a colt on the 9th June from the effects of which he died on 11th. "Accidental". Jim Barnett, County Coroner, Cheltenham.

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 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"

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

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.
