I am trying to find out the year my gt granmother died but cannot find any trace. Please could one of you amazing people help?
Her name was Rhoda Ann Pearson ( nee Latter) born 1878 in Sussex. She died in Surrey sometime in the 1930s. Many thanks Sue

I don't know whether her husband was alive I'm afraid. As for the date my uncle told me he thought she died in the 30's. he was born in 1940 and she was dead then. Her last child was born in 1909. Sue

Thanks so much for looking Julie. The 1935 lady is definately not her, too old, wrong place. I think I'll have to trawl thro the 1920s, just started and jan-march 1929 is missing - what are the odds on that being the year!! Sue

Hi Sue

I have been all through from 1923 to 1930 and cannot find any death. Did she remarry at all? I had the same problem with a relative and all the children knew her by her first marriage name? I

Gosh Jackie you are quick! No she didn't remarry. My guess is she died in the missing jan-mar 1929. i wonder why it is missing and whether it can be found? Sue

If you type in just Pearson and put the jan - mar 1929 in, it will usually come up. Have you also tryed a different way of spelling Pearson? It could have got recorded as a spelling mistake, I have also had that one. It should have been Kibble and they put Hibble ?

Day off today, it is the best way to unwind!

Jackie, that worked but not there, argghhh!
i would dearly love to find the year as the poor lady died in an awful accident and I would like to read the coroners report but without the date no chance. Sue
