Find Ancestors

I am absoulutly stumped with this lady and I know I have asked before, but a long time ago. She married Kane Croft in Ireland in c 1883, they moved around all over the place from Northamptonshire,Leicestershire, Scotland to Dorset and back to Ireland. I have about 50 newspaper articles mentioning Kane Croft, (he was a 2nd whipp, then 1st whip for the Hunts. I found his death in 1915 in Strabane area Ireland (LOL) under suspicious circumstances, found newspaper clippings of his inquest, either he was drunk and shot himself or the equipment he used to put down injured hounds was faulty. (we will never know the answer to that one. I know he Left her about 153 pounds and she was awarded 75 pounds in compensation from his employers (but where the hell did she go after 1915. she was born around 1866 give or take 4 years in Kells Co. Meath Ireland. and I think her fathers name was stephen (not positive on fathers name). Any help would be appreciated. I have been looking at my Kane Croft for about 9 years and only after 1911 census did I find him in Ireland. How a child born in Northamptonshire can end up in a Workhouse then scotland, get married in Ireland, back in england in Dorset and then in Ireland makes you realise what life must have been like. Any help at all would be appreciated on my Henrietta, If I can help anyone at all with searches , please feel free to ask. Thankyou all in advance

Thank you all for the replies. I do have this census information, my problem is trying to locate her after her husband died in 1915. Nothing showing for her in irish records on Find my past, suppose I will just have to keep looking lol xxxx Many thanks again

Have you found her birth record?

In censuses her YOB is anything between 1868 and 1873.
A more accurate YOB might be helpful in locating her.


EDIT:
Ah, no, I see you say she was born "around 1866" - so that's different again!

Strabane RD straddled the Donegal-Tyrone border - if he were rego'ed in the Tyrone part pre-1921, you can buy his d.cert from either Ireland.

By law, information from English/Welsh registrars can only be released in the form of BMD certificates.
Although having a formal cert makes life easier if you're wanting to get a passport, or get a body buried, or etc, it really is overkill for genealogical purposes.
The rest of the UK (and former UK) allow one to purchase "uncertified" images of their registers at a discounted price. These images might be sent by email.
[This is useful if you're needing an older Irish cert. It's cheaper still if you've gotten the above ref info from the civil index. For purchase, see
http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx
If you purchase with a credit card, the credit card company wil handle the euro conversion.]
