Title: Look up death: Bentham,Yorks
Post by: minnie222 on Tuesday 11 March 08 05:24 GMT (UK)

Hi,

As I've been trying to find my Gt Gt grandmother who migrated to Tassie, I remembered one of her children emigrated to UK with her English spouse.

Perhaps.  it might be easier to get a death certificate for her daughter?  Would it show the parents details ie Kate Snr and John Parkin? ???

Catherine (Kate) Parkin  b 3/3/1865 to Kate(Catherine Reid) and John Parkin in Longford, Tasmania

She married George E Maude in Ulverstone in 1890, they had 2 children there before moving back to Lanark, Scotland in 1897.  They moved to Maude's farm in Bentham, Yorkshire where 2 more children were born.

Kate died aged 48 in 1904 at Wharfdale, Yorks.

Children:(1901 Census) Letitia Nicholl 9; Mary Harriet (6) both born in Tasmania - Gertrude 4; Kate 3 born Bentham, Yorks.

Hi Minnie,

Unfortunately an English death cert won't show parents' details  :(

The details contained on a death certificate include:
Name, date and place of death.
Date and place of birth (before 1969 a certificate only showed age of deceased)
Occupation and usual address.
Cause of death.
The person who gave information for the death registration.
