Yes you have the right family. My Gmother, May, was the last to be born in 1913. Have just ordered the death certs. Thanks

do you know if the 1911 family is the right one to confirm we have the right family?

Thanks Jansmith & Andrew

Guess they died before my father was born! I'd searched and searched post 1946!

Thanks again

Can anyone help me find the death records for my GGrandparents. My father says that they both died when he was young (looking around 1946-1955?) John killed Clara, then himself! Not sure if he murdered her or drove her to death! Both were alcoholics
Thanks
