Sheryl,
Have you got her Father's name from the wedding certificate?

Added;
Is this her birth, as no middle initial?
Elizabeth Tootill

True patcham.
We are both Londoners but moved to Kent in the 1960,s so people dont stay in the same areas these days

I was just about to add that one, Shirley.
There is no record for her original surname for second marriage, but that is often missing.
Presumably nothing stopping her moving to Wolverhampton.
Just wondering, still, what the family knows of her.

Could she have remarried?

Welcome to the boards, Sheryl.

Have you asked your parents or grandparents when they think she died, or any further information about her?

Have you got Reuben's death certificate to know whether she was still alive then?

Thanks

:-S

My great grandmother Elizabeth Cleworth nee Tootill does not seem to have a death record in either surname, nor am I able to find a divorce record or second marriage to provide an alternative surname. I have tried spelling variants also. I have searched GR and also Lancashire BMD but only up until 1975.

Why might this be?!

Elizabeth Tootill born Q3 1898 in Bolton, Lancashire, married Reuben Cleworth Q2 1916 in Bolton, Lancashire. Reuben died Q2 1947 in Horwich, Bolton. They had at least 3 children.

Cannot find a census record for Elizabeth Tootill in variant spellings either.

I'm lost.
