Title: Emily GAVAGHAN.Swindon?
Post by: Owd Fossil on Tuesday 08 February 11 22:21 GMT (UK)

Can anyone help with tracing Emily Gavaghans birth place, abt 1898 in Swindon ,Wiltshire.
Her mother was Emily Stephens(Stevens)born Berkshire.
 Father John Gavaghan.(Miner)Born Wigan.

I have her in Wigan ,Lancashire in the 1901 census then nothing!
I cannot find her death,but have found one wrong first name, right surname and age in Wigan?
         Help ???

The freebmd index will narrow down the place and give a second name. Swindon does not exist as a reg district until 1899.

What is the "wrong" name that you have?

Just beat me to it Suz. Highworth is the correct registration district for Swindon in 1897.

Thanks Suz & Anne that was fast work ;D

 I think sadly that will help me to trace her.
 
I had hoped she had stayed with other family members.

Thanks again for your help.
