That used to be run by an old lady who was strict, no nonsense and thorough, but slow.

I remember one day, getting a bit bored with my searches in the death certificates, and started roaming about. I went to the back of the spool and had a read.

There, I came across an entry in the late 1800s for Billy the Broom, who had dropped dead while sweeping London's streets. No one knew his real name or where he came from, so the certificate was made out in that name.
