Dudley MBC has taken all reasonable steps to ensure the information provided is clear and accurate. The material provided is for personal use and may not be used for commercial purposes.

All information is provided in good faith and Dudley MBC accepts no liability for any errors or omissions in the research data. Whilst every effort has been made to accurately transfer records, there can be no guarantee that the search will provide a positive result in any individual case.

Prior to April 2005 the cremation records on this site are incomplete and do not include the age of the deceased or their date of death.  These fields will show as zero years by the age and blank in the date of death field. For further information on these records, please contact the relevant crematorium office.

In addition there are also a small amount of burial records that were transferred without a date of burial on them. These will show up with a default date of 01/01/1800 against them. These records will be amended over a gradual period of time. Any queries regarding these records, please contact the relevant cemetery office.

Due to legal restrictions we cannot publish any information on cremation or burial records within a minimum of the past six months. The site is periodically updated every six months.
