Warton - St Oswald's - Miss Willis
« on: Friday 14 August 09 23:33 BST (UK) »
Trying to find a date of death for Edith Curren Willis, buried in St Oswald's along with her sister and brother-in-law John and Elizabeth Butler. I've found the burial records for them on the OPC site, but not one for her and I've no idea when she died. Last address I have for her is Ormonde House, Carnforth but that was in 1915 and I think she outlived the others quite a long time, possibly until 1954.
She was also secretary of the local suffragette association in 1913 so any suffragette links might be useful! - thanks

Hi - Lancaster & Morecambe Family History Society have a project ongoing where they photograph and catalogue the exsisting gravestones at all the local churches.  I know they have completed St Oswalds at Warton. 

http://www.lancasterfamilyhistory.org.uk/files/wartonstoswald.htm

On the following link you will see that they have WILLIS Edith Curren, Ormond House.

On the site there is an email link - I would suggest contacting them and asking if you can have details, possibly the contact of the person who did the project at St Oswalds.  I did that for one of the Lancaster graveyards and had some very positive help - regards Jackie
