Title: Which District for a death in Mexborough?
Post by: charz on Sunday 22 February 15 11:32 GMT (UK)
Hello,  Could you please help

I am looking for a death for Emma Dixon, born in abt 1844 Monks Bretton, lived around there husband died in registration district of barnsley in 1905 i think,  Would she have died also under Barnsley?  The only one i can find is in 1914, but i cannot find her anywhere in the 1911 census ???.

I am going round in circles, looking for a death before 1911 or looking for her on 1911
, any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Charz

Probably because Ancestry have the surname as Disson  ::)  Try William Thomas Disson
