Hi Gwyn,no she did,nt it was her brother in law from her first marriage that was the informant,could i ask someone on records if they could do electoral look up for me,thank you
Dutch

As you have an address for her husband, perhaps the way to go would be to request an old electoral list lookup to see if she was still living there when your uncle died, and for how many years later.
It doesn't usually say on a man's certificate whether or not he was widowed.
Did she not register the death?

The electoral information will be at an archives or main library local to the address.
Some librarians will do a check for you, ..some won't.
Some charge, ...some don't.

Hi Julie,on her marriage cert she was 45yrs old and that was in 1955 so unless she was lying about her age,even tried looking for her family on Census for but quite alot oh Hourihan were in America,myself i thought it was Irish name

How do you know for sure it was 1910 birth. Have searched the complete index for all 1910 and first qtr of 1911 but no one of that name.

Can only see Margaret May Hourihan b 1905 Merthyr Tydfil

i had alook on latter day saints but could,nt find anything for her,but the address were she was living with my uncle,was 16 Glendale Drive Wimbledon,he died in 1970,but it dos,nt have widower in the box so mybe she died after him

Date of birth is shown on death registrations after 1969 so you should be able to eliminate any too far from her birth year.

Oh dear - looks like you can't use QuidCo for renewals any more.

Never mind.

Can you let us have the year, the approximate quarter and the place of death as something to go on?

Thanks.

Ellie
