John and Mercy

[Shrop63]

Hi good people, I, m trying to find any info on what happened to a Mercy Carter, born in Shropshire 1872 but moved to Lancashire around 1880. She married a John Rowland Jones in 1906 Didsbury and apparently we're living in Preston 1911 with 2 children Rupert and Ellis. Can't see much after this, either a death for Mercy or what happened to Rupert and Ellis? Thanks in advance

Easily found on the 1921 census.  Use Rupert’s details to find them

She is also easily found on the 1939 register

You give Shropshire as Mercy’s birthplace but she incorrectly gives it as St Helens on census entries.  She was b Shropshire but was living in St Helens in 1881 hence her confusion

Yes I know the exact church she was baptised

So you have presumably now found her in 1921.

Have just added to my reply above - she is also easily found on the 1939 register

Her death is also easily found on freebmd
