Mary E James 1890 Widnes (Prescot)
« on: Monday 04 November 13 16:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi, help needed please with the above, I was given a spouse some time ago for her but not a marriage date, if the notes & records are correct she wed a Joseph Forshaw and stayed in the Prescot area. The last Anc.... record of 1911 she was a servant in a house.
Can any one put me right ? if she wed, a year, and possibly a death year.

Thanks..

John

LancsBMD has no death indexes for the Prescot Registration District yet.  FreeBMD might help

The marriage is noted as a "Registrar or Registrar Attended" marriage.  It is likely that by this time a "Registrar or Registrar Attended" marriage was either in the Register Office or in an RC church as many Non-Conformist (Mewthodist, etc.) chapels had an Authorised Person appointed to act for the Registrar
