Fanny Harrison born Robinson 1860 Robin Hood's Bay. Married George Storm Harrison 1888 who died 1906 in Hartlepool. Fanny last heard of 1911 living Elwick Rd Hartlepool. Please can anyone help as to when she died and where? One son George Arthur Harrison born 1891 in Robin Hood's Bay.

There are over a hundred deaths for Fanny Harrisons recorded on Free BMD between 1911 and 1940. Unless you have a good idea of where she died and when you stand very little chance of finding the correct one I'm afraid. She may even have re-married.

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!

Likewise Fanny Robinson's! Sorry to be so ignorant, but what county are we looking at? Is it Durham?

Via PM:

Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire and the Whitby area. Hartlepool does come under the Durham district for records.
Thanks Anne

You know Anne, if you ignore the age this might be a possibility:

Deaths Dec 1915
Harrison Fanny 62 Stockton 10a 110

Ages can be quite far out on death certs, depending on who registers the death. Stockton is in the right sort of area, it says this on freebmd:

The district Stockton spans the boundaries of the counties of Co. Durham and North Riding of Yorkshire
Hartlepool transferred to Hartlepool district on 1.4.1859 (up till then came under Stockton).
