Death certificate of a British subject in 1832

Leontiya,

thanks.

It was an interesting dossier/fond but no ancestor.

By the way, the name of my maternal family "Hide ", causes difficulties in Russian. I know from my grandmother that is was sometimes pronounced as Gide. In the English translation on this site/forum the name is changed in the verb " to hide ".

Still 2 questions: - where there official Russian death certificates in that period?

- is it useful to send a letter to the Smolensky cemetery or an other archive?

Any suggestion would be helpful.

Death certificate from 1832

My 4x grandfather Charles Hide - British subject - lived and worked in St.-Petersburg. He died on 4 -08- 1832 and was buried at Smolensky cemetery.

Would there be a Russian death certificate ? Or an orbituary in the Petersburg Gazette? :

I hope to find his place of birth!!!!

Any help would be appreciated.
