Elizabeth's death

Deaths Mar 1889 (>99%)
Roylance Elizabeth 42 Chorlton 8c 567

been trying to find them in 1881 - they are under the surname Rylance rather than Roylance

as James was a carter I wonder if he died away from home. There are one or 2 of about the right age

Sorry For some reason I had it down as cheshire it's a long time since I did this one just trying to tie loose ends up and my notes are in Wales and I'm in Manchester

Ahhh - THAT marriage was in Manchester !!!

This would be the marriage but the other name involved for 'this' Elizabeth was NOT the one we are looking for !!!

This marriage is not a second marriage for Elizabeth Marsland Gresty !

1876:

I think we need to start again with what Sylann 'actually' knows !!!

Elizabeth Marsland Gresty married James Hil l1869

Then She married William T Roylance 1876

I can't see an Elizabeth Hill marriage in June 1876 - Altringham is I think the registration district for Ashton on Mersey

Who did she marry please

Jonathon was born Altrincham district 1870 and Isabella 1872

I am sure others can add to the list of whats available.

Its broad spectrum . London baptisms and marriages to c1920 are online to view from the records kept at the London Metropolitan Achives.

Deaths after c1975 show the birth date as given by the informnat on the death cert.

There are many other Counties that have transcribed BMDS. and Family Search has some pre reg ie 1837, parish record indo.

Theres lots more too Im sure that i havent covered .

FreeBMD though is a free site and should be your first port of call for BMDS that are reg after Sept qtr 1837 when registration started.

BUT some births may not have been reg pre 1875 when it became an offence , with a fine, not to reg a birth within 6 weeks of the birth date

Their is one on there that could be him

Could you put me straight on what people can find and what they can't

I see so many births / marriages not sure about deaths that people find that gives more info

Just for future reference

Try FreeBMD thats where is should be.

Looking for the death of James Hill
He was born 1847 Timperley Cheshire

Married Elizabeth Marsland Gresty 6th Dec 1869 St Martins Ashton on Mersey had 2 children Jonathon 1871 and Isabel 1873

Got the 1871 census living in Manchester


Elizabeth married again 4th June 1876 St Micheal Cofe Cheshire
1881 she is living in St Helens

So I'm thinking between 1873 and 1876
