I'm trying to find my Grandmother's death. Born Frances Sanderson 15 June 1895, Married John Moffat in 1922. Last known whereabouts London in Sept 1963. May possibly having been calling herself Frances Holt. I've searched on all names and can't find anything. Can anyone help please?

She could have lived right up until the 1990's, have you searched the full indexes right up until then?

Could she had remarried?

Could she have emigrated?

all deaths have to be registered and green slip issued so the undertaker can perform the funeral arrangements.
She must have been registered but its under what name !!

Hi Audrey,

I can't find a Frances born on that date registered after 1984, so should narrow the search a bit.

I am presuming that whoever registered it did indeed know her DOB.

Kind regards
Amanda

Not been able to find another marriage and unlikely that she emigrated due to ill health

found this one right dob but dont know if the surname rings any bells

Re emigration - note that a death in Scotland will not be rego'ed in England

note that much of the information on a death certificate is only that which is known by the nformant ............. and that depends on what the informant has been told by the deceased!


The only information that can be relied on :-

date and place of death
cause of death
name of doctor
inquest information and coroner's name (if applicable)
name and address of informant


information that is not reliable

name of deceased
age/birth date of deceased
marital status of deceased

What was she calling herself in 1963?

Do you have any documentary proof that she was in London in that year?

I know this is an old thread, but it is inextricably linked with a new one
