I am looking for information on Eliza Courts nee Woodbury born around 1851 in the UK.
She married a Edward Courts in 1889 in Bedworth Warwickshire UK.
They emigrated to the States in the 1890s.
Edward died in 1902 in Midland Park, Bergen, New Jersey.
I am trying to find his wife's Eliza Courts nee Woodbury death record.
Can anyone in the States help us Please
Thank you for your time.

This may be her misspelled in the 1910 census - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MKRB-C5B
Eliza Courts, widow of Edward, is listed in Paterson, New Jersey city directories up to 1926.

In the 1927 Paterson, New Jersey city directory, it says Courts, Elizabeth, widow of William, died Mar. 15, 1926 age 80. No other Courts were listed in that directory. Despite the discrepancies in her name, age, and husband's name, I think it's possibly her. If she didn't have any family members in the area, the information could have come from someone without much knowledge.

This appears to be her on the 1920 census - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M4Y8-HHG The census image says she was a patient in the Holland Home. The address given matches the entries in the Paterson city directories. According to a Google search, this facility was known as the Holland Home for the Aged.

Thank you Shelly for your work in tracing Eliza.
I know what you mean about information coming from
non-family members.
Edward was married twice his first wife died in the 1880s.
He married again to Eliza I don't know if they had any children
over in the States they did not here.
Once again thanks for your help
