I'm trying to tie up one of my rellies...(well....not literally!!)....I have her year of Christening 1819.....her father's name (Joseph Collett)....her wedding cert to James Batty and all her children's birth certs....and she died between 1891 and 1901....I have also found her on the Census's from 1851 to 1891.....On 1837(.)com there are 2 Ann Batty's from Wakefield who died in this period....if I send off for both these certs how will I know which one is her??

the cert may give a maiden name, or wife/widow of or she may still be living at the same address as the last census you had her on
