Elizabeth married Thomas Wray at St Helen's Church York 15 Dec 1813; had four sons 1815-1822. Her husband remarries in 1839 'widower' to Catherine Robinson, widow.
But when does Elizabeth die?

not 1827, burial St Michael le Belfrey York - an infant aged 7 weeks
not 1840, too late, husband remarried 1839.

Can anyone find another possible burial/death?

Thank you

Remarriage is at St Margaret Walmgate 3 Feb 1839.

Death Date abt 1830
Burial Date 9 Jun 1830

Abode listed as Petergate

the image on fmp says she lived at Petergate

Maddie's result

Elizabeth Ray
Abode Grape Lane
age 75??

At the beginning of the horizontal stroke on the 7 there is a veritcal slash through it, which gives the appearance of a "+"
The only problem is later entries made by the same official show a "7", in this format.

image on fmp says she was 38 buried by john fox officiating minister

The 19.3.1837 burial in Leeds can definitely be discarded - age 19 so born after "your" Elizabeth married !

If Family Search children results are correct, this may help towards clarifying that it is Elizabeth who died in 1830
