	I cant find death record of my Gt Grandmother Penelope Lewis.(Lewis was her married name Byrnes her maiden name) I have checked years 1923 to 1942. I think she died before 1943 and was alive in 1921.Possibly i have missed it as i was going cross eyed looking after a while! I would have thought she would have died in Wolverhampton but am now thinking maybe she went back to Kildare Ireland and died there. Where do i go from here??
	Researching: Lewis, Smith, Meakin & Byrne. Wolverhampton & Ireland

	Some of those years were in wartime. She could have moved away from an industrial area to anywhere....including Ireland. Gwyn

I eventually tracked him down through the burial records in the churchyard, but I still can't find his certificate. But at least I now have a date. Local records offices are very useful for this
