Found on ancestry a great uncle who was in ww1. He died in a hospital in Edgbaston,B,ham. presumebly by injuries recieved etc but I would like to find out exactly what was the main cause of his death was. Is there anway that I could find this out or any sites I could view to find this out. Many thanks for any help.

Is the gentleman concerned noted on any other trees on ancestry (or genesreunited)? If so you might find that someone else already has a death certificate ..... this has happened lots of times for me, and I am always quite happy to share certificates I have purchased if it helps someone else - generally most people are happy to ..... might not be as long a shot as you think!! If you don't have genesreunited access, post the name and dates on here and I will look to see if he is in any trees there for you, if you wish.
