Roger,

Are you still searching for a certificate? I am in possession of an original death certificate for my G-Grandfather. The certificate was sent back to UK with his possessions after his death in Ghana (formerly Gold Coast) in 1921.

The certificate is entered in the "Register of Deaths and Burials", and is signed by both the "Registrar of Deaths of the Gold Coast Colony and its Dependencies" and the Governor of the Gold Coast Colony. It is all written in English and includes comprehensive details concerning the deceased (except his exact age!)...

I have had a lengthy correspondence with the Anglican Diocese for the district in which my relative was buried (as indicated on the certificate), but am no further along in my search for extra information.
