Death Registration Sarah Forfar - died 18 June 1856 - Luton
« on: Wednesday 03 September 25 18:49 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help with the death registration of Sarah Forfar wife of Alexander Forfar of Wellington Street, Luton.

There is a death notice in the Luton Times and Advertiser that states she died on 18th June 1856 but I can not find a corresponding death registration.

Any help gratefully received.

Possibly Sarah FARR (3b/257) aged 29?

Modified to add:
Maybe not, looking at the death notice I see it says "aged 34".

Were they established in Luton ie lived there a long time or could she have died away from home and be registered there?

How old would she have been in 1856?

Could she have died in Scotland, worth a check for deaths there just in case.

Thank you all for looking, it’s definitely an odd one isn’t it, at least now I know it’s not just me missing something obvious.

I actually got the birth and death certificates for Alexander who also died in 1856 in the hope of finding a clue. His father registered the birth and when he died in March 1856 Mary Ann Newland registered the death. I don’t believe she was a family member so maybe a nanny or nurse.

The husband Alexander Forfar was an “interesting” character, I did wonder if Sarah left him and he put the notice in the paper for appearance’s sake but maybe that is a bit too far fetched.

Thank you all again for your time and effort.

Another daughter

Christina Thomson Forfar born 1850 bap 24 February 1862 along with Mary Jane and Sarah Anne.
she married Edwin Coupees 7 August 1875

Note on GRO Index mother is listed as Leeds s/b Seeds

Robert died 1849
Alexander 1856

Question if parents Alexander and Sarah plus youngest son Alexander all died 1856 was it something contagious or perhaps water bourne illness.
