Title: Death of Matthew aka Walter Duffey and Wife Mary Ann
Post by: billbir on Friday 10 July 09 19:55 BST (UK)
I am trying to establish when the above two people, died. I can find them both in the 1881 Census but Mary Ann is a widow by 1891. She is still alive per the 1901 Census but I cannot find her in the 1911. He was born about 1803 and she was born in 1841( an enormous age difference between husband and wife), both were born in Middlesex. I have searched BMD but did not spot them. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry - I can't see a death for her at all between 1901 and 1911.

She's either still alive and hiding in the 1911 and her name has been transcribed incorrectly or could she have remarried?

I am also trying to find Walter and Mary Ann Duffey.  My grandfather was Frederick William Bohm, son of Alice Jane Leigh Duffey and Frederick James Bohm.  Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you for the information on Mary Ann Duffey's marriage and death. Thanks also for the information on Mary's parents, though I did have all of that information. Funnily enough I seem to have good information on the Pearson family back until 1750 but had struggled with the Duffey's. Thank you for spending your time on my problem.
