Thank you for your help

Old lists are kept at the main library or archive local to the event. They are searched by address not surname.
If you live away from the area you could ask a librarian for help, giving them the address off the certificate.
Some will do this for you, others won't.
Some charge, some don't.

Thank you will check that out, can you do that on ancestry

It might be useful to check Edward's 1942 address in the electoral lists. There won't be any for the war years, but if you checked 1939 and 1945 /1946 you could find out if Elizabeth was alive then and if it was likely to be her who remarried.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply, Elizabeth had my grandad in 1913, his father is not listed on birth certificate, Elizabeth occupation at time was laundry assistant, she gave my grandad to a family to bring up, I do not know if she had any contact with him or any of her family, she then married Edward Randle Thompson to my knowledge she did not have any other children (that I can find). I will check the marriage for 1944 because Middlesbrough have a email service for queries on certificates, I have death certs for Elizabeth Thompson in 1925 Newcastle and 1929 Gateshead, they were the only two deaths that fitted prior to Edwards death. In 1942 Edward lived at 15 Grosvenor Gardens Normaby Middlesbrough. Thank you all again

I would be inclined to find the local library to see if the obituary was put in the paper. This would pinpoint their address, location of burial/cremation and possibly the relatives/status of the deceased.-Jle

i see Edward was 44 when he died ,its possibly Elizabeth may have remarried??

To narrow it down
Did they have any children ? if so when was the last child born ?

Would you list the death certs you have ordered?

I am trying to find a death of Elizabeth Jameson b 1893, she married Edward Randle Thompson in 1917 Middllesbrough, but I have searched for a death with negative result, have ordered several possible death certificates for her but the husbands are incorrect. Edward died in 1942 and a cousin of his was present at death and registered it, no mention was made of marital status, is there any records I can search to find and narrow down if she was still around pre 1942. Her husband occupation at time of marriage was in the army, but I do not know if this was the proper army or end of ww1 subscription, any advice would be greatly received.
