Find Ancestors

I know Helen, I doubt I'll ever know who why she was called Wylie, I do so hope she didn't die young but I can't find her any where after 1861 cenus but at least I haven't found a death record, so there is still hope!
Hope my mother in law doesn't read these posts!!

That's probably why people use these these pseudonyms, to avoid detection when calling mothers in law.
Although I don't plan to diss my Ma in law, I wish I knew how to adopt a nom de plume on here! (Although I doubt I could think of anything witty, and there's already a Seaham Lass on the go).
Also just thinking, have you noticed when you get questions answered with your family history, it just throws up other questions. Now you know most of the circs surrounding Robert's death, you have all the questions of why his daughter had his murderers family name as her middle name. Drives you mad eh? I just hope when I shuffle off this mortal coil I get all my answers cos I doubt I'll get them in this lifetime!

Know what you mean Helen!! Catherine isn't even my direct ancester her older brother is butI I'm fasinated by her story. My big hope is that my dad who died a couple of years ago will come though with all the answers, as his death prompted me to start this! But he was a man of few words in life and he thought long and hard before he spoke so I don't supose he'll be in a hurry!! I miss him anyway

Hi Christine ,
I know this is totally unrelated to your original request but thought it might be something to do with a previous generation of yours.

I was searching on National archives to see if i could find anything and came across this.

well it might be of use or you might already have it.

Glad you resolved your mystery.

Hi
You could also try the website for your local council an type in Bereavement services. they might tell you where the grave is. That's what I did and found the grave of my gt grandparents. hope this helps
