I have tried the birth, marriages and deaths search and not got anything. Any ideas?

Visit a family history centre - they may be able to help as they have lots of resources available. Go to www.familysearch.org and you will be able to find one near you. The staff are very friendly and there is no cost to visit and use facilities.

If you are in the United States, search the Social Security Death Index.
The Social Security Death Index is available at Ancestry.com for a fee, but it is also available for free from other sources, including RootsWeb.com, and FamilySearch.org. I prefer to use the Ancestry.com version of the index because the information is formatted in a way that I can directly cut and paste the information into the source information area of my genealogy database. The RootsWeb version, however, has the most comprehensive search feature on the web; all the information in the Index is searchable. The FamilySearch version of the index is not as full-featured as either of the other two indexes. That said, if you can’t find someone in one index, you can always try the others. Differences in the search algorithms and in the search interfaces may provide different results.

Try the nearest church to where they died - are you sure you have got the spelling and all possible names havebeen searched against. Try the probate registry in High Holburn or put a "want to get in touch" advert in any of the local papers.

check the microfilm at the library of the city you live in and also the newspaper in that area. all deaths are stored in their database. it helps if you know the approximate year but it can be done by name only

Hold a mirror under their mouth and nose.....or stick 'em with a pin! lolol
Sorry, I couldn't help it!
Actually, I really don't know...once, I did find a website connected with the Social Security people....and my dad's ( who has passed away) name was listed as deceased.
Can't remember how i got there, though. :(
Good Luck in your search, and I hope everyone is still kickin'!
God bless!

Try posting a message on friends reunited, someone might know someone who could help, if you know what i mean?

I'm trying to take this question seriously but I have no clue what you are talking about. I would check for breathing, pulse and temperature. If all were negative I'd assume they were dead.
