Are you looking in the FreeBMD index on Ancestry or the full one? If she was only born in 1868 it's possible she died after 1914 - this is how far the transcribed index goes at the moment, but you might find her in the full index. Only thing is, you have to go through that quarter by quarter.

hi everyone i am really struggling finding a death of a relative,i have gone through pages and pages of results and finding nothing.her name is pricilla elsworth(nee king)born 1868 married in 1889.can anyone help,am i doing anything wrong thanks . lind.

hi im doing the full index,how do i get into all elsworth,s deaths instead of everyone else in it,hope you understand what i mean im using ancestry thanks for your reply lind.

Do you know when her husband died? Maybe she remarried. Sam x

dont think she remarried,and her husband left her when her kids were very young,iv got him in the 1901 cencus living back with his parents,and i have been told he moved away to leicester cant find his death either

With the full index, if you're going through the images you get an image of the page of the registration index but you can't isolate a particular surname. I will start looking through from 1911 as I couldn't find her up to that date.

1) go to http://ancestry.*co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx 2) Click deaths for 1837-1983 complete index and images 3) type surname in the search box 4) input a year and select range then click search you will now have a list of quarters containing that surname. some quarters are mistranscribed. you will still have to look through all the other surnames on the page but at least you don't have to start at A!

I've been up to the end of 1921 but so far haven't found her. Will keep looking.

yipeee iv found it j/a/s quater 1936 thanks all of you your great.x
