Hi. I am trying to find the death of Matilda Foster. In the 1921 census she is a widow. Her husband was Thomas Foster. They lived in Hinckley, Leics. Matilda was born in Stoke Golding 1845. She was previously married in 1872 to a Thomas Miller Tipping who died in 1874, Leics. Her maiden name was Bickley. Any help would be much appreciated.

Can't see a 1921 entry for the profile you have given. If she was b 1845 she would be 76 in 1921
-
Can't see a marriage for a Thomas Foster & Matilda Tipping but there is a Joseph Foster marriage in 1899

Thanks for your replies Carole. The marriage was in 1899 Matilda Tipping to Thomas Foster. In the 1891 census she was 45 so yes she would be age 75 years old in 1921.

Sorry it was Joseph Foster she married. In 1912 census her and Joseph had been married 11 years. A million apologies and she is age 65.

Sorry it was Joseph Foster marriage in 1899. A million apologies!

You say you have her on the 1921 census??? Quote "in the 1921 census she is a widow"
Do you mean the 1911 as there is a death on freebmd in 1915 which is probably why I couldn't find her in 1921 ::)

Hi. I only have access to Ancestry 1921 census in our local library. I could have sworn I found her in the 1921 census but perhaps I am mistaken, if so I apologise again. Thanks for your help again. Do you think that is her death record in 1915?

Just checked Freebmd and yes that is the Matilda Foster death I was searching for. Thank you again and sorry for my errors.
