Hi all, I am trying to find the year of death of Sarah Ann CALDER, (nee Deakin) .

Thanks very much for that information

Just in case!

Marriages Jun 1916 (>99%)
Calder Sarah A Millington Chorlton 8c 1376
Millington James Calder Chorlton 8c 1376

Unfortunately I don't know the date of death of John Calder (snr) either

Really struggling to find this family in 1911, a pity as it often gives very useful info. Sarah is married rather than a widow 1901, or so it says anyway!

For INFO only

Births Dec 1869 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calder John Brown Chorlton 8c 676

On freebmd, you only need to put in the name when searching

I can't see them in 1911, either............

At some point I think they moved to Scotland as their daughter Elizabeth had her children, (Margaret and John), in Kirkaldy and their son John, (so many Johns!!), was a Private in the 1/7th Black Watch and was killed in action in France in 1917

Well, you have two options then. Firstly the Scottish 1911 census is out next month. Secondly you can search for death on Scotland's People site (pay per view).

2 1931 CALDER SARAH ANN DAKIN F 59 KIRKCALDY /FIFE 442/00 0034

Thanks LindaB for that info.

It looks like she may have died in Scotland, perhaps Kirkaldy??
As the info on her son only has her name on it I wonder if her husband died prior to moving there?

As they don't seem to be on the 1911 census, I can only presume that they moved to Scotland prior to that, with or without John (snr).

Thanks very much Helen, that info is excellent.

Thanks to everyone for all your help....very much appreciated.

You should have said at the start that they moved to Scotland.....you had the info from the son's death.

NNNNNN

To keep up with duplicate..............

Apologies to everyone!! I thought I should start a new thread as this was a different person, obviously I know now I was incorrect!

Apologies Flick but I was not aware that Sarah had moved to Scotland, I only knew that her grandchildren were born there, Margaret and John, until I saw the address for Sarah regarding her sons death, and realised it was in Scotland.
