If you click on the registration district for Ashton on FreeBMD where James W Brierley's death is registered for 1928 it will give you details of the area.
There are hundred's of deaths for James Brierley so it would be hard to find his details. Good luck Irene

Have blanket searched the deaths for a James William Brierley whose whereabouts should have been Leeds..I have found a death in Leeds amj 1911 for a James Brierley est date of birth 1870..age of death 41..He was born 26/9/1870 in Ancoats...
This fits I know but according to notes from his daughter he was still alive in jfb1940 as she stated they attended his sons funeral..however I have found his wifes death in ond where she is the widow of James W Brierley..His son married an Annie Garrity in 1928 and it has not been stated he is deceased,neither has he in 1922 on his daughter Nellies marraige cert..
I have found another death in 1928 jas of James W Brierley age 57 in Ashton..
Is Ashton anywhere near Leeds? Or come to that ..where is Ashton?
Is it Ashton under Lyme? or is it a singular place somewhere?
There is some mystery in the family regarding members of my grandfathers family.. which living ones are not coming forth with..my family was a secret one but feel there is something more being hidden than this...
If any one can help me ..then would really appreciate it...Wanda...
