I’ve placed my order for PDF copy of the death certificate. This appears to be the only digital option and cost £8, delivery expected by Wed 3 Dec. I’ll report back. Thanks all for your help.

'Helpful' hardly describes how far you are willing to go to be...well, helpful! It is clear that I need to be much more observant in all aspects of my research. It must explain why I seem to hit brick walls! Thank you again.
 
I have just completed a search on GRO, carefully using the references from the Ancestry index, but the result was... no matching result found.
I did the search again with variant spellings of the surname, with the same negative result. It seems the search goes on! I think my most obvious next step is to contact Edgbaston Old Church.
 
Not sure what you were searching for as I thought you were waiting on that wibdsor death cert.
It may be that if that Windsor death is him, and the family had left Birmingham, he was buried at Windsor.
 
I was searching for the same death certificate for William Oldham. I was prepared to spend an extra £3 for an immediate result despite the £8 spent on a PDF. The good news is that I believe I will get a partial refund on the £8 as there will be no result found for that search based on the same criteria.

Hope that makes sense

Not sure why it doesn't come up when you do a search but there are gaps in GRO links.

"Hope that makes sense". Everything you have said, Janice, makes sense. I wish I could say the same for the Alice in Wonderland nature of the GRO system of searching. It is true that I didn't do exactly what you have very successfully done, but I cannot understand why one search, using the same information input, returns negative while the other search gives just what I am looking for. But this is perhaps not the place for such an examination of mine or the GROs shortcomings.
