Good afternoon
I am researching my Loy family history and am looking for the burial of Henry Loy who died 18 Dec 1872 Melton Mowbray Leceistershire. He was born c 1820 in York. He was married to Mary..... and I don't have details of her death but would appreciate any assistance.
Regards
Virginia

Thanks Diddy. No as you say Mary Loy/e was still alive when Henry died in Dec 1872 as Probate was granted to her in May 1873.
I will look for her remarriage as I have not found her death. If you find it can you let me know please?
Cheers
Virginia
