Margaret Ahmed Ali 1892 death.
I had to split the images as they were too big.
Could anyone translate them please

I don't know if it's just me wilcoxon, but I can't see the attachments you've added.

You also need to put this thread on the Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition Board.

I'm not much help with the first part, sorry, but the second part says:
July 31, 1892. 7:30 PM.
Margaret, aged 47, resident of Gavinana.
Born Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales to Hewelling (which is probably Llewellyn) Jones and Mary Owen.
The rest of the page is just witness names/ages/addresses.
Hopefully someone who is better with cursive sees this and helps out ;D

Many thanks.
I was wondering about the other names, do you think they were witnesses to the death or just the registration of death.
The name of the father is not what I expected, but she was born before her mother married to another Jones. It may or not be correct.
Mothers name is a great breakthrough.
Thanks again.

No problem! The other names are most likely a witness registering the death not an actual witness to the death itself although sometimes it was the same person who found their relative dead who then reported it.
