Title: death lookup please
Post by: JFOR on Monday 14 November 11 16:04 GMT (UK)
Looking for the death/burial of Sarah Foster/Forster, spouse James and probably in Chorlton on medlock. Last child in 1859 and James remarried in 1861. On Find my past I see Sarah Foster in Chorlton 1860 +1861 and also a Sarah Forster in Manchester 1860. Thanks. Jim

Have you been to look at LancashireBMD?
If there is a death in the index there it may give age-at-death which narrows the field.

Snap!

LancashireBMD shows that the Sarah Forster death in Manchester 1860 was aged 58 so she can be ruled out.

Yep. lancs BMD hasn't done Chorlton yet. I have tried Lancs + Ches BMD. Free BMD has the same two references but no age. The 1851 census has her age at 24, his at 26 so 1827ish. I have tried Lancs county clerks + LDS family search by county and parish records. I don't have a subscription to ancestry, or Find my past or any of the others so I was hoping if someone does could look at the two Chorlton entries. Jim
