Can someone do a look up for me please for Ada Hornsby born at Ennerdale in 1884c as Ada Lancaster. She married John Hornsby at Whitehaven in 1912. Any information would be helpful but in particular I would like help in tracing her death which I believe was about 1960 in Cumberland. I haven't got the death of John Hornsby either but I believe it to be a lot earlier than Ada.
Thank you.

Thanks that must be the one. Can you find any information about her death as Ada Hornsby?

Sorry Carol, I don't have access to the later records; perhaps another Rootschatter can find the registration details for you. If you need specific information then you would be able to use them to send for a copy of the certificate.

Ada HORNSBY (72)
The only one in Cumberland in that period ... of course, you may have the date wrong.

That sounds like the right family as I know there was a Joel but there must have been more children as my Aunt was Ada too and she was born in 1925 at Whitehaven. That must be Ada's death in 1960, if it is the only one in Cumberland but its strange her age isnt right. Perhaps there was a hospital at Cockermouth that she went into, as she did live in Whitehaven. I presume you would need an approximate date to trace the death of John Hornsby and I dont know that.
