DEATH NOTICE LOOKUP PLEASE

[Ferg]

My ancestor CLARA LYDIATE died 3rd November 1945 at 10 Hyde grove, Sale, Bucklow. Husband was John Lydiate.  Can anyone help me find a death notice from a newspaper please as I want to find out her parents names.

was Clara married to John with children Frederick Walter, John, Stephen, Alfred & Clara?

If so - according to the 1901 census she was b Runcorn Cheshire approx 1864.  This does not tie up with her age in 1945 as she was 85 when she died which puts her birth around 1860.  Looks like they only moved to Lancashire between 1895-1899 as they were all b Runcorn apart from Clara

Was her maiden name Gandy as I found a marriage September qtr 1883 Prescot 8B 1075?   

If so - there are only 2 Clara Gandy's b Runcorn on the 1871 - one b 1861 parents George and Selina and the other b 1863 parents George & Elizabeth but she was Clara J Gandy.  In view of her age in 1945 I tend to favour the one born 1861

Do you know the names of any of Clara's siblings as George and Selina also had children George, John Edward, Selina and Frederick William.  George's occupation was ships carpenter

Yes her children were Frederick, florence, samuel, John, alfred, Harold, Steven, Albert, Sidney and Clara, she died at the home of her daughter Clara.  She could not read or write which could be why she doesnt know when she was born, I have various dates, Her marriage certificate states her fathers name is Thomas Gandy but I have never found her with a Thomas Gandy in all the censuses which is why I thought the death notice in the paper might name her parents as it does here in NZ
