Would someone be able to check on this death record for me? I'd like to get his parents names and his marital status if possible

Firstly the death records indexed by the England & Wales Death Registration Index are death certificates that can only be obtained by expending cash on their purchase from the General Register Office of England & Wales. See https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp

 

Secondly, parents' names are not normally on English & Welsh death certificates anyway. Names of spouses may appear - women are often recorded with an occupation of "Wife of ..." - I have no idea if that is mandatory. The DCs of men, on the other hand, will only mention wives if they are the informant of their husband's death.

Thank You so much

Birth, marriage and death certificates (post-1837) are not online--you can order a pdf or mail copy from the GRO (General Register Office) in England here. You will need the quarter (Oct-Nov-Dec), Volume (08B) and Page number (211) to order. Death certificates do not list parents names for adults, but it should give you the informant's name and their relationship, which could be a family member. You might find this article on England Civil Registration records useful as well: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/England_Civil_Registration

Apart from what has already been proffered ...

(1) A ('On-Line') "PDF" Copy of a Certificate ONLY costs about £7.

..... [ Through the 'General Registry Office' ( GRO ) of 'England and Wales'

....... which is currently through, "Passport Office", of the Government, of UK

....... you just need to "Register", as a User, that is FREE, not cost, very painless ]

(2) "Death Certification" is ONLY as good as the "Informant".

..... [ Often, dubious; especially, if the "Informant", was NOT a Family member ]

Identifying his birth and ordering a copy of the birth certificate would be a better option. If he was around 40 in 1904 (as stated on his death registration record) the list below might give a clue. They are the five births of a Robert Barr recorded in England between 1863 & 1865. Finding him in census records (with his parents) would be a help. You could then go back a few years from 1864 and look for a "matching" marriage - i.e. one for a male named BARR and a woman with the same first name that appears in the census and (probably) matches one of the five maiden names shown below. This might also save you having to order a birth certificate. (This is how I usually research names of parents, but by trying to match names of any siblings, too.)

 

Update - You can exclude Robert Alexander Barr, as FamilySearch has records of his death and burial in 1864. The birth might be missing from the GRO records, otherwise Robert Archibald Barr would be my bet, even though he would have actually been 41 years old at a late 1904 death. FamilySearch has his 1891 census record (mother Sarah).

 

Robert Archibald and brother Frank (see 1891 census record) are both shown to have a mother with maiden name BARGE. Just found a James BARR who married Sarah BARGE at Daventry, Northamptonshire in 1862.

Thank you...I have the birth and parents of the Robert Barr I am looking for, it is his death I'm trying to find...There were 2 Robert Barrs born around same area, around same time, and I just want to see if this death is the Robert's death I'm looking for, or the other Robert...the Robert I am looking for, pretty much fell off the face of the earth after 1893...he went from England to Canada with his wife, to Chicago Illinois, his wife went back briefly to England around 1890 or so from Tacoma Washington, she came back to Washington after a few months back in England, filed for divorce, then moved to Canada and remarried...no sign of Robert after 1891 or so...so, thought maybe he went back to England to look for her? He was Robert Claive Barr

Yes, I can see now that you wanted to CONFIRM his parents' names, not that you did not know them already. Mentioning his known middle name / mother's maiden name (Claive) would have saved a lot of speculation about his identity!
