She died in 1935 in Dumfries, Scotland.

If you purchase some credits you can view a copy of her death certificate.   Lilian Newnham died 20/11/1935 at Crichton Royal Instn., Dumfries.   Usual residence given as 4 Newhouse Road, Esh Winning, Co. Durham - shown as single, aged 56, Secretary.   Scottish death certificates show parents names and this confirms that this is your Lilian.

Oh you are an absolute star Annette - the Esh Winning address is spot on. I haven't had a chance to get on Roots Chat for ages because of work but this is brilliant. Thank you.

Had a look at the 1911 Census and birthplace and birth date wrong for Lillian.  Am seeing what else I can find to support the 1901 reference in Easingwold

Will check it out right now - don't have anything else to support yet but the 1901 record definitely looks promising.

Unfortunately all the post marks are illegible - she doesn't talk about herself in the postcards just about what her nieces and nephews have been up to so no clues there either  :(

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Searching for Lillian Margaret Newnham from Guisborough area

Wondering if anyone can help me find my g-g-aunt Lillian Margaret Newnham was born in Guisborough / SKelton / Marske in Yorkshire in 1879.
Her parents were William Essex Newnham and Margaret Gill who came to Yorkshire from Woolwich, London in the 1870s.

Lillian is present in 1881 and 1891 census but I cannot find any record of her at all after that.

But from family photos, letters and belongings I know she was still alive right into the 1930s - I just don't know what she
was doing or where she was. 

She is quite a distinctive and striking figure in her photos and from the postcards and gifts she sent her sister's family
seems a fascinating character.  I would really love to find out more.

Would be really grateful for some fresh eyes on the search.

There's a bit more information about her on my blog in case that helps

Hi... :)

I really don't know if they will turn out to be useful.... but I think they are worth checking.

There is this baptism if you don't already have it....

NOTTINGHAM St Augustine R.C.
Florence Mary MILTON - born 7th April 1881 - Baptism 1st Sept 1895
Father = Arthur Milton & Mother = Emily Birdshall

Oh this is interesting - I thought the family were all big protestants border line non-conformists.  Where did you find the record? I will check for my g-grandmother Ellen as well.  And will try and get copies.
