Need suggestion/direction/assistance

[Jeanne K.]

My husband's great-grandparents were born in the United States in the 1860's but they moved to Europe in about 1893/94 to pursue a fish merchant business.   They both died in England.  I obtained a death record for my husband's great-grandfather, Sidney Ulysses Grant Gott for 17 August 1923 in Birkenhead with the help of someone on this board.   English directories show Sidney living in the Birkenhead area from about 1908 to 1923.  It is his wife I still can't find.  Her name was Emma Florence Gott but she went by the name of Florence.  Her granddaughter, who is still alive at 92 years old, says that her grandmother also died in England in about 1932.  Her granddaughter also believes that Florence may have remarried.  I can't find any death record or a re-marrige record in the BMD index, but maybe it hasn't been transcribed yet.  Any suggestions or assistance in finding her death record would be appreciated.

Hi,
CheshireBMD has a marriage 1923 Birkenhead (Civil Marriage) of
Emma Florence Gott to William Edward Elliott
www.cheshirebmd.org.uk
That site will give you the details to apply for a copy of the certificate at the local register office. Ancestry has the full GRO index if you need that reference.
Assuming her death was registered as Elliott is doesn't appear to have been transcribed on either FreeBMD or one of the UKBMD sites, so you would need to search the quarterly indices on Ancestry (these are free to view).

THANK YOU SO MUCH!  Yes, I am sure that is her.  Using the last name of Elliott, I also found a death record of her in the BMD index.  She died in the 3rd quarter of 1932.  I have just sent for both the marriage and death records.  My husband's aunt, who is 92 years old, is the granddaughter of Emma Florence.  She will be so very pleased that I have found this information.  This board is wonderful.  It has helped me break through so many brickwalls.  Thanks again.

Glad to be able to help you Jeanne & your aunt-in-law - you're lucky to have someone like her to give you clues.
Best wishes for the search
