My grandmother was born in St Johns Chapel near Stanhope Durham. She married and moved to Middlesbrough. Her husband died in 1948 in Middlesbrough.
I then found she had died in Stanhope in 1950 . My father was with her at death. So Im assuming she was visiting or had returned there to live because it gave her address as Stanhope.

Perhaps this is what happened to Joseph or since he was a pedlar he could have died suddenly while working

may many thanks to all . my G.grandad wad born in ashton under lyne. and my granny annetta morris (his daughter) born in duckinfileld. she was 26 when she married thomas bateson. Her brother john morris signed the register. and entered deceased for her dad. (Joseph morris)For some unknown reason they all up sticks and moved to leigh in lancashire in the 1911 census. The my granny annetta was married in salford on 2/8/1911.
why cannot my g.grandad be found. its only 4 months between the census and the marriage. how do i discover if one of the ones mentioned in my replys is my joseph morris, im thinkingof the stoke on trent one, as this is the nearest in age. would this mean he was burried in stoke or would they bring him home. I know all this sound odd but i just dont know what would happen to some one so far away for his family. any help appreciated. regards maria harding

1911 census.
Annetta Morris 1885
living Leigh

So she was 26 when she married

There is also a Joseph Morris born 1863 living in Leigh. Too many Morris showing up in Leigh to work out who is living together without paying to see

Unlikely I know but if there is an inquest the death isn't registered until after. OH's sister was registered a year after she died.

Of course the daughter, if under 21 may have lied so she didn't need parental permission.
