I have just stumbled across this website:

http://govdeathrecordsuk.com/Register.aspx

Does anyone here have any experience of it? Is it any good? What
periods does it cover?

I am suspicious of the fact that it is American, and I don't like the
fact that there is no indication of the timespan covered. When I did a
test search, it wouldn't even tell me how many hits it had unless I
cough up the fee. But the fee is quite low, and the claims made for
the site wouldn't have to be met in full for it to be worth it. So I
am very wary, but if it is a worthwhile site, I might give it a go.

Before doing so, I thought checking in here would be a good move.

For God's sake READ THE BLOODY ARCHIVES of this newsgroup where the con is exposed again and again. If you can't find and read archives, then what the hell are you pretending to do genealogy for?

In fact, Don, there seems to be a degree of spelling variation. The variation the OP came across *wasn't* in s.g.b archives. It is now, of course ;-)
