Hi

If you send for Amy's death certificate, using the info Suz gave you,  this will give the cause of death.

If it was a fire there was probably an inquest and you may be able to find out more from local papers, but people on here will be able to help you with that.

Thanks, Jan.

I've sent off for the certificate.

I'm also looking for a William A Yates  in Liverpool and can find 3 of them (1925-27).  Is it possible to look at these birth certificates on microfiche if I visit the registry office (yes, I know, I'm spending too much time watching Heir Hunters!   ;)  )

Just an update for all those who helped me out:

I've now got Amy B's death certificate.  There was a family rumour that she died in a fire but it seems she died of flu [probably the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918]

On my wife's side we found that her grandad died just 2 weeks before the end of WWI - also of the flu!?!   Fancy going through the war and getting so close to the end then dying of an illness!   :'(


Thanks again to all who've given the time to help.  Best wishes to you all.
