There is a baptism for Gladys May  Whitehaed in Northleach  in 1891

Baptism 25th October Born 3rd Sept Parents James and Rose Whitehead. Father's occupation Police Constable. Abode is Prison Stamfsnelt( place name difficult to be sure off). Presumably this is the correctional facility in the parish and where James was an employee not an inmate!

Dob therefore confirms the 1939 register.

Here is a transcription of the death found by Blairvadich. This is from LDS . These transcriptions of Scottish Civil Registration records are very useful finding aids before  spending money on Scotland's People! ( Only 1855 - 1875, 1881 and 1891 have been transcribed).

Of course the original on SP will give you other detail such as cause of death and the name of the informant.

And of course to amplify the joy of transcriptions I do love that his occupation has been transcribed as Hopespinner!

Here is a link to the Ancestry blog about this new feature:

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/c/ancestry-blog/dna/dna-matches-by-cluster?srsltid=AfmBOooaMyjqiDtcgFCaVBSRtlqZaS3j4Z5umf1pE8XuPFY7LDFrhvdm

One quote from it caught my eye " If you do not have many matches sharing 65cM of DNA with you, then it will not work, and it will not place any matches labelled "Unassigned" into a cluster."

Well that explains why I have no clusters and am not likely to have any in the future - I only have 6 matches of 65 cM and above and 4 of those are unassigned! ( As it happens the 4 are all close matches with each other and I know what the connection is. Quite why they are unassigned is yet another issue!).

I hope others fare rather better!

I believe that Jonathan Hall and Mary Makepeace are probably my 4x great grandparents, their daughter Eleanor being my 3x great grandmother. Eleanor married William Ward in Lanchester in 1805. As Boo has suggested it is worth looking at the children of Thomas/ Dorothy. In my line's case one piece of useful evidence is that there appears to be a naming pattern going on - eldest son of William and Eleanor called Jonathan and second daughter named Mary.

I do understand your difficulty. In my own case I do not feel I can go further back than Jonathan Hall and Mary Makepeace with any degree of certainty.

Here is a link to the article about the funeral of Alice Edge. It is  the first article and is titled "Funeral of Miss A Edge". You would need to register  with the British Newspaper Archive to read it in full.

( I found it by searching for Alice Edge and then using the filters to narrow the search down to 13 Jan 1966).
