England & Wales, Death Index: 1984-2005
about Norma Smith
Name: Norma Smith
Birth Date: 8 Dec 1937
Death Registration Month/Year: May 1995
Age at death (estimated): 57
Registration district: Manchester
Inferred County: Lancashire
Register number: C56B
District and Subdistrict: 0061C
Entry Number: 249


Of course this would mean that she never married if she had the same name at death as birth

Sue

i'm afraid the only way to find that out is to buy the certs. I know this can be expensive but it is the only way - I bought 6 death certs to find my Flanagan grandfather! got him eventually though1

I have two.1937-4 mm Heyes and 1939-3 mm Baxendall .Have I missed one?

Ginny.
Like you say certs are expensive,I have paid for many myself.
I had a website called Brides and Grooms but lost it.
I Know her mother was Gladys or Edna,Tom Smith and Harry Smith were brothers(married twice each) If I could find Tom and Harry.s marriages would this help at least which two go together.

Thank you so much for your help
