A good starting point as you have a date would be the local newspaper for the area.  If it was a major incident then maywell be in the national newspapers.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: 1871 Census Lookup - Stevens
« on: Friday 10 June 05 18:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi ec

Yes she was Mary Outteridge on the 1891 census living at Tunbridge Wells.

I have also found the alot of Steven families on the Sussex Weald site, which gives me two family trees for the two on the families on the 1871 census, so will be able to use that in conjunction with the parish records of course for the evidence I have the right one.

Hi ec

I have been trying to fathom this Emma out for ages.

Emma married Edwin Outteridge, they were my great grandparents.
On the certificate Emma's place of residence is Oxford Restarurant, Tunbridge Wells, which fits in nicely with Speldhurst.  I have located a William and Maria Stevens (the first family you mentioned) living at Groombridge Boarding School, Speldhurst  in the 1881 census along with other siblings.

I had found the 1881 James Beeney etc but had no real proof it was my Emma but I suspect she is the one.

I think you are right the two families you found may be related because there seem to be a lot of Stevens living in the Rotherfield area at that time.

I really appreciate your help with this one, it has been bugging me for a long time, but with your help it looks as though I maybe going in the right direction.

Hi ec

Thanks for the two, that's nearer than I was.  Considering she married in 1883 aged 20 I assume the first family are the ones I am after.  So will follow that line.

On the marriage certificate states William's occupation as Labourer.
I found Emma Mary on the 1881 at Tunbridge Wells, as a domestic/servant.
Sorry I left that off the first message, as it was rather an obvious fact.

Hi Arranroots

The Uckfield one I have already followed up and unfortunately wasn't mine.

Sussex Lookup Requests / 1871 Census Lookup - Stevens
« on: Friday 10 June 05 11:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Would someone be so kind to look up a family for me please.

Emma Mary Stevens
born 1863 - Mark Cross, Sussex (according to 1891 census)
Marriage certificate states father as William Stevens

As both names are popular christian names I am looking for Emma Mary as a child living with parents (hopefully) in 1871, so I can identify her parents to enable me to follow this line further.

On the 1891 census she is known by her second name Mary, (as her death certificate states,  but marriage certificate states Emma Mary.

Many thanks

Hi Paul

Have you  searched the local newspaper for the coal mining accident which was probably reported in it.  If it was a major accident then may well be in the national newspapers.

The Common Room / Re: Deaths post 1910

Hi Sue

Would it be worth putting a message on Rootschat such as
Trying to Find William Bailey or Looking for William Bailey - it is just possible someone else may have him or come across him in their family tree/research.  I know I have names that I thought maybe something to do with my family research but turns out they are not or I haven't proved it yet.
I tend to hang onto them and anything I have found to do with that name, never know when it may help someone else.

Good hunting!

Hi Sue

If you know the county you could see if they have a searchable website for example Kent County Council has but only has deaths for the last ten years when I last looked at it. 

If you know the exact place of death you could contact the local registration office, they will often do a search of a given number of years for you.

A look in local newspapers, but you would need to know the area.

Hope this helps.
