Here's the very brief death notice for Cordelia Scourse:

Weston Mercury
17 December 1881 (page eight)
"December 13, Cheddar, Cordelia, wife of Mr. William Scourse, jun., aged 41 years".

Louisa is on the Passenger List with a 19 year old Jas H Source - Labourer.

In the 1910 Census there is a James Scourse living with Wife Fannie in Rochester USA.

Thank you all again - I did receive the Certificate of Death - curious minds, so I'll share results!  "Continual fever and exhaustion."  My 2x grandmother appears to be her last child, born in 1880.  Death for Cordelia was 12/1881.  So - after 8 children - I'm sure a strict husband - she may have miscarried or come down with something.  Never know - but god bless her, passed at 42.  Thank you all again for your help.
