I'm curious about this death:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index, 1837-1915
Name: Ann Cunningham Petch
Estimated birth year: abt 1846
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1884
Age at Death: 38
Registration district: Middlesbrough
Inferred County: Yorkshire North Riding
Volume: 9d
Page: 406

The 1861 census shows that Ann Ireland Petch had a brother John born c1851. There are a few trees on Ancestry that have given his middle name as Cunningham, although there is nothing on the records to indicate where that middle name came from.

There's a good possibility that this is her registered with that same middle name.

Thank you so much for the clipping it certainly fits with all the information i have, and it could be the death you have mentioned.

Thanks

You're welcome Amanda. I think it could be well worth sending off for a copy of that death certificate, I'd also suggest buying James 1902 marriage certificate to see if there are any clues on there, perhaps an address or the witnesses?

I have found out that the Cunningham name is Ann Petch's grandmothers maiden name, which i think could be the link. Ann's mothers maiden name is Ireland which is where i found her middle name but she could well have had 2 middle names.
