Hi

Your message is a bit sparse on information.  Exactly what info are you looking for as she died 78 years ago.  Are you looking for living descendants or are you researching her ancestry - please clarify

If you are researching her ancestry - you will need to supply more info

How old was she when she died which will give an approx birthyear

Was Mackin her married name or was she unmarried

If married - what was her maiden name

If she was born before 1881 - have you checked the 1881 census for her and her family

Hi CaroleW,  Her maiden name was Lewis she was born in Jersey 1899. I am trying to trace any relatives/ family she had three children Douglas, Stanley and Joyce.
            I believe Douglas died in WW2.
            She was sister to Lizzy who also lived in Taunton and married a  Mr
 Sanford who I cannot find.

Hi
 
This is from one of your previous posts

Joseph William Martin married Eva May Lewis at All Saints Church (St. Helier) on 3rd Sep 1921.

JWM was aged 30 and a bachelor. His profession was an Engineer and his residence and birth was given as St. Helier. His father was James Mackin, a labourer.

EML was 22 and a spinster. No profession was stated. She was resident and born in St. Helier. Her father was George Lewis and his profession on this occasion was given as a painter.

The witnesses were George Lewis and Florence Osmond.

So we have an 8 year timescale between her marriage and her death during which time she had 3 children

Did she die in Taunton or in Jersey?
Were her children born in Taunton or in Jersey?

Hi Carolew, I believe she died in Taunton and think her children were born in Jersey.

I believe she died in Taunton and  her children were born in Jersey

Where did you get her year and place of death from?  She clearly did not die in Taunton in either 1928 or 1929

Where did you get the information from that she lived in Taunton at any time?

I think you need to obtain more positive information on this family.  We would not be able to help with any aspect of her life after 1901 as that is the last available census

She did not marry until 1921, and if, as you think, all 3 children were born in Jersey, there is really nothing from a Somerset aspect that is available to help your research at this stage

You need to have a thorough search of the GRO index for her death and confirm for sure that it took place in Taunton and not in Jersey- it's available at your nearest main library or online via an Ancestry subscription or by payment at www.findmypast.com
