Could anybody help with finding my GGrandmothers death?
Born: Rose Thorne Jul-Sept 1881 Aston 6d 346
Married: Charles Wood Jul-Sept 1899 Aston 6d 416
Died: ?????
Would be really grateful if anyone can find this!

Many thanks

Meant to add that at 1 point she was mistranscribed as Rose Thomas - Thomas being a 2nd christian name

Hi Julie

Yes I have looked on freebmd & ancestry but cant seem to find anything that ties up with date of birth!
I have no information on when/where she died so can only try and look at age as a guide! If you have any other ideas I would be happy to hear them - she seems to be a bit of an enigma!

Don't forget that the info on the death will be only as good as the informent knew & that they might not of known her actual birth date

When if they had any was their last child born

to be honest aswell you couldn't be looking up to 1981...I find deaths the hardest to look for

Hi Julie

I have only found 2 children - my grandmother Florence Rose Wood b: 13.01.1908 and an older brother Charles Henry B: Dec 1899, Aston 6d 350. Im sure there must be others but I dont have anybody to help with the gaps so proving really difficult for me to get quality information!

Thanks for your help

This one might be yours but there is a bit of a gap, you could get this cert to see & who the parents are and that will give you a date
