Im looking for the death of ELIZA HOVERS (nee Cook) Shipton on stour c1827. I have her as a widow on 1881 census living at 54 Kings street, Dudley. Aged 54. The HOVERS name changes through the years, sometimes OVERS as was my Grandmothers maiden name. Eliza was her grandmother. Any help very much appreciated. Gerri
