Death Lookup, please. Margaret Widdows
« on: Wednesday 25 April 07 19:46 UTC (UK) »
This is a bit complicated, as Margaret Artus married George Widdows using the Christian name Serrettar. She was born in 1857 in Ancoats and I believe she died in Manchester in the 1940s. The death could be recorded under the name Margaret or Serretter Widdows. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, but she was definitely alive and well in 1944, living in Manchester. My sister recalls meeting her. There is a possibility that George died young and she remarried, which would really make things difficult and explain the failure to find her death entry.
I will have to contact a distant cousin. His mother, now in her 90s, might know something of the matter. Just hope I can locate him at his last address.
