	I've seen you other thread about Staveley marrying Alice Orton in 1922 is this the same Staveley, if so then presumably looking for death of Lizzie prior to that. good idea to keep same lines of family on one thread

	Looks like Staveley died in 1926 so is it possible that Lizzie remarried?

	Have looked for a death in name of Elizabeth Hill in Coventry 1935 - 1950 but unable to find one that fits the age. Brenda
