I have been attempting to track my gt grandfather's half sister Honor Tingman nee Ward for many years. I have recently established that she left the UK for Canada, married there and then when her husband died went to live with her daughter in New York. Last sight is in Worcester Mass around 1943 and I guess her death could have been around this time. Anyone out there know where I might find death records for Worcester for this time frame. This would be the last piece of the jigsaw. My father first started the search some twenty odd years ago and it would be lovely to bring it to a concusion.
Many thanks

So people can see what was found previously on this lady, so as not to duplicate past efforts:

I'm not aware of anything comprehensive online for that time frame for Massachusetts death records. There are a number of volunteers on www.raogk.org who do public records look-ups in Worcester County.

According to papers my grandfather had - he's her grandson - she died on July 27 1943 in Worcester, Mass. I'm afraid I don't have any official documentation, but he was alive when it happened and so probably attended the funeral.

My grandmother was Honor Ward as I'm the daughter of James Havelock Tingman.
