Maddie I don't think that could be her death, that Sarah is too old x

thats what i thought, just posted in case there is a connection, hence ??? :-)

Thanks, but defiantly the right family in the census??.. I will check my tree and see if any of the names match up you never know.. I'm just wondering if she remarried that's why I am unable to find her death x

One of her daughters Eleanor married a Charles Taylor , so maybe Arnold Taylor is connected to her.. I will keep checking

I mean Helena not Eleanor married Charles Taylor x

had a look but nothing coming up

Yes Chris that is him, and that is his daughters.. So it appears that he did remarry . So I'm presuming because we can't find a death for Sarah that she must of remarried too ..its just finding who to..
Thank you for the probate record maddie x

here is the 2nd marriage

Name: Joseph C Wood
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1927
Registration district: Rugby
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Spouse: Kate L Morris
Volume Number: 6d
Page Number: 1911

the obiturary above has no mention of a wife so she must have died before 1927

(see 1924 news item just added above)

Chris :)

Thanks Chris , the plot thickens I will keep looking, could I ask one more favour of you please? One of the daughters is Mrs F Ward.. That would be Francis Elsie Wood, I have her down as marrying a Lewis George Baker in 1921 Rugby could you double check this out for me please, I have all the other marriages correct, but this one has thrown me, unless she remarried . Thanks

I think the Sarah Ellen that maddie found is my Sarah and they have the birth year wrong, as everything seems to tie in with family members buried there and the acknowledged from Joseph Cooper and family x

She wasn't born 1869 she was baptised 1869 by Joseph Dearlove a soldier and Elizabeth
on her marriage record in 1884 she was 28 = 1856.

Early census record has her born @ 1856 her sister Elizabeth Esther 1854.

Elizabeth Esther married Dec 1876 and Sarah Ellen was a witness.

I can't find the birth record for Sarah Ellen.

Maryb.

Thank for that Mary I never relised, should of though as such a big age gap between her and her sister x
