Bedfordshire / Re: Death Registration Sarah Forfar - died 18 June 1856 - Luton

Thank you both for the further help.

I have tried the usual online resources for possible burials but nothing found.

The death certificate for Alexander in 1877 is not overly helpful, the age is right but the informant appears to have been his landlady and occupation of Town traveller, I assume salesman, is possible but not conclusive.

England / Re: George BERRY b 1907

Found this for Richard’s death, posting in case you have not seen it before.  As one son appears to have sadly died in the war it would seem to suggest George was still alive when his father died, backed up by being mentioned in his Will.

I think that marriage is correct Shaun as Minnie Shreeve is also with them in 1939. Unfortunately can’t see an image or any further details of marriage online to confirm fathers.

Possibly the same George Berry death registration 1987 Northumberland ref 1 2024 dob 20 Jan 1907.

Also looks as if father Richard left a will in 1953 maybe worth a punt at £1:50 to see if George is mentioned.

Thank you both for your further help.

I think the husband Alexander Forfar died in 1877 in Bermondsey although it’s hard to be certain it is him as the death certificate doesn’t give anything conclusive.

Odd there does not appear to be a death registration for Sarah but just one of those things I suppose.

Thank you again,

Thank you all for looking, it’s definitely an odd one isn’t it, at least now I know it’s not just me missing something obvious.

I actually got the birth and death certificates for Alexander who also died in 1856 in the hope of finding a clue. His father registered the birth and when he died in March 1856 Mary Ann Newland registered the death. I don’t believe she was a family member so maybe a nanny or nurse.

The husband Alexander Forfar was an “interesting” character, I did wonder if Sarah left him and he put the notice in the paper for appearance’s sake but maybe that is a bit too far fetched.

Thank you all again for your time and effort.

Bedfordshire / Death Registration Sarah Forfar - died 18 June 1856 - Luton

Can anyone help with the death registration of Sarah Forfar wife of Alexander Forfar of Wellington Street, Luton.

There is a death notice in the Luton Times and Advertiser that states she died on 18th June 1856 but I can not find a corresponding death registration.

Any help gratefully received.

I agree with step grandfather.  You and your brother are half siblings because you share one parent so your biological connection is half, but a half grandfather is not possible, they either are the biological grandparent or they’re not, you can’t have half a biological connection as it is just one individual. If that makes sense  :-\

Australia / Re: Rachel Maddocks died 12 July 1914 - Gepps Cross, South Australia

Thanks again Rosie.

From an online tree I think Elizabeth was known as Lilie so it is probably her on 1881 census but the Miss Maddocks on the immigration record could be Margaret.  If it is Rachel and Margaret they have both rounded down their ages by quite a bit but the timescale would fit with Margaret’s marriage in Sydney in November 1890.
