I recently received the death cert for my great grandfather. He died in 1888 aged 81. The cause of death - old age.

I hope I go the same way.

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Thanks for adding to the tread. A lot of my side of our family have lived to a good old age and as long as I am still alert and mobile I hope I follow suit.

Any tips on how to find the 'lost generation' in our trees?

I have been made quite mad by the loss of my elusive forefather.

The women in my family died so early, and husbands were really forced by circumstance to remarry. They really did work as a unit in the 19Th century ,didn't they?
Well the lucky ones did. There would always be good and bad men, there still are.
