Sri Lankan death certificate, 1921
Can anyone suggest the best way of obtaining a Sri Lankan (or Ceylonese) death certificate from 1921?Can I apply directly to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (or similar), or would I be better to engage a solicitor or similar person in Colombo to do the job on my behalf?If so, how would I find a suitable person?
I am an Australian with no direct connection to Sri Lanka, but my great-grandfather died at sea off Colombo on July 1, 1921 and was buried in Colombo.
Many thanks for any help.
