Death & Burial
« on: Saturday 11 October 25 23:35 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I am trying to find the deaths and burials of one of my ancestors - Margaret Thomas nee Fennill born in Manchester. She married Owen Thomas - he died in 1870 and was buried in a public grave at Manchester General Cemetery.

I have Census records etc for them. The last record I have for Margaret is the 1891 Census, at the time she is listed as being aged 63, living at 22 Lancashire Street, Harpurhey, Manchester, living with her daughter Annie Bailey and her family.

There seems to be a large number of Margaret Thomas deaths on the GRO between 1891 and the next census of 1901 - can anyone help locating her grave please or helping me locate the correct death?

Thanks, Luke
