   Exact, but not always totally accurate!  On several occasions I have   
   found the year to be a little out, though the day and month are usually   
   right and the correct year can be verified from the GRO Index.   
      
   Depending on the period of interest to the OP, it may be helpful that   
   date of birth is given in the Death Index from June Q 1969 onwards.   
   Again, might not be strictly accurate.
