Find Ancestors

Both my grandparents lived in Liverpool. I know my Grandad died whilst I was young and they both lived in Beacon Lane, Liverpool. This happened somewhere around 1967 ish. My grandmother moved onto Cantril Farm now Stockbridge Village where I believed she died in the 1980's. I have been unable to find any trace of their deaths in official records and as such it is making me question their existance. Grandad William Webb born 6/7/1894, Nan Charlotte Webb nee' Howgate born 27/3/1895. Can anyone out there help me with information, PLEASE.

Have you searched the fill Death index on Ancestry?

Here's their marriage, Russell, if that helps!

I haven't quite figured out whether there are searchable databases on line for deaths pre-1984. I use Ancestry, and there you have to look through the individual images, four quarters per year, to find the record.

I looked at the page for first quarter 1967, and there were a dozen William Webbs. I'm assuming the district where he died would be Liverpool, and there wasn't one there. If you're not subscribed at Ancestry, you might want to get a trial sub and use it to search those records.

There are numerous deaths with the name Charlotte Webb since 1984, but none with that date of birth (also, I don't know the geography well enough to know what district to be looking for). So you would seem to need to search the untranscribed images before that year for the record of Charlotte's death too.


Oh -- there are two births in the transcribed index:

Births Jun 1917
Webb Mary C Howgate W. Derby 8b 796

Births Dec 1920
Webb Eleanor Howgate W.Derby 8b 897


So there's a little more documentary evidence for you. ;)
