Put wrong day for grandmother. It's 28th January 1894. Found the GRO records office harder to negotiate than Scotland's people but sent for death cert. and will see if anything matches. Thanks again Monica and chempat

Just got the pdf of a death certificate from GRO but it's not my grandmother. From birth year I was hoping it would be at last correct so am really disappointed.
Ancestry come up with very little when I say exact match but all sorts when I don't.  Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Also the Halstead family tree Monica put me onto said my grandfather was a widower when he remarried but the marriage certificate said divorced so someone might know something.
Am stuck with where to look next.

Could you apply to see if she is showing in Scotland on 1939 register - as born 1894 do not think you have to prove she has died?

Have been on Scotland People website but not found anything. Which 1939 register do you mean?

If they cannot find her then she either died before 1939 in Scotland, has moved elsewhere, or is hiding with different birth date?

Thanks for your time chempat. Have looked through the English 1939 register. Will try the Scottish one, although I have done research on Scotland's People website before with no luck. I suppose a divorced woman with nothing may hide away understandably.
