Title: Tom and Mary Brayshaw deaths
Post by: EdCan on Thursday 15 May 25 17:42 BST (UK)
I have had no problem tracing Tom and Mary via census but am stumped looking for their death registrations.
Tom(not Thomas) was born abt 1849 and Mary abt 1853. They married 1871 Stockton and where living in Stockton in 1881. The family were living in Harrogate 1891,1901, 1911 and 1921. In 1921 Tom was living with son Thomas Eubank Brayshaw and described as a widower. I tried looking for Mary dod 1911-1921 but no luck . She is not the 1916 Lancaster death nor the 1919 Bradford death. Tom's death does not appear to show up in West Yorkshire. Given the length of time that they lived in Harrogate I would have thought that at least Mary's death would have been there.

Long shot but could they have been visiting children in a different area and died there?
