Trying to find a date of death for Edith Curren Willis, buried in St Oswald's along with her sister and brother-in-law John and Elizabeth Butler. I've found the burial records for them on the OPC site, but not one for her and I've no idea when she died. Last address I have for her is Ormonde House, Carnforth but that was in 1915 and I think she outlived the others quite a long time, possibly until 1954.
She was also secretary of the local suffragette association in 1913 so any suffragette links might be useful! - thanks

Hi - Lancaster & Morecambe Family History Society have a project ongoing where they photograph and catalogue the exsisting gravestones at all the local churches. I know they have completed St Oswalds at Warton.

On the following link you will see that they have WILLIS Edith Curren, Ormond House.
On the site there is an email link - I would suggest contacting them and asking if you can have details, possibly the contact of the person who did the project at St Oswalds. I did that for one of the Lancaster graveyards and had some very positive help - regards Jackie
