Hello. I'm helping a friend look for the death of:
Thomas STORR
b. Dec 1865 - Wistow, Selby Registration District.
He married Esther Grace Smith Sept 1895 - Selby V/No 9c: P/No: 1119
Children William b. 1896/Selby and Grace b.1899/Selby
Would someone mind having a look to see if they can see the death registration for Thomas please.
Many thanks
Dee

Hello Dee
Have you got a rough idea when and where he might have died ?
If he was in his sixties and possibly moved to Lincolnshire, there is this registration which is an almost perfect mathematical fit...
1931 Boston JFM quarter 7a 581 - Thomas Storr aged 65
There is also another one.....
1935 Hull JAS quarter 9d 235 - Thomas R Storr aged 69 but there is no earlier indication of your man having a middle name.
These are the only registrations that I could find from a quick search between 1920 and 1940 (assuming he was between 55 and 75 when he died) with the correct name and almost correct age. There were none in Selby.
If you think that he was probably older than 75 or younger than 55 when he died, please let me know and I will check in some other years.

Hello DS. Apologies for the delay in replying to you. Well, the Storr family are an absolute 'brain teaser'. They had been living, working and married in the Wistow/Selby area since the late 1700's - all working as farm labourers. They never moved further than a few miles from each other. There were (what appears to be) 3 Storr families. One set in Lincolnshire, one set in Yorkshire and one set in Lancashire (previously Yorkshire) and none of them appear to to be related or had anything to do with each other. We just cannot find the death of Thomas or Esther/Esther Grace Storr after the 1901 Census where they were at:
Thomas Storr 38
Ether Storr 24
William Storr 4
Grace Storr 1
21 Bondgate, Selby
RG13; Piece: 4428; Folio: 134; Page: 5.
This is where the trail seems to go cold. Either I have been looking toooo long at these records and am missing something or I have lost the plot altogether.
The age difference between Thomas and Esther is correct.
All other members of the family had lived, worked and died in the in the Wistow/Selby area and are account for, traced on Freebmd plus the certificates have been purchased.
I guess we need to get a copy of the Boston death. Would you have the GRO reference please.
Thank you again DS for providing what may be the first 'breakthrough'. It's very much appreciated.
best wishes
Dee Melody

Hi Dee
I did not realise that you were looking for Esther as well...
Death Registration
1948 Boston AMJ quarter (vol) 3b (page) 18 - Esther G Storr aged 72
Looks like they did move to Lincolnshire and the one for Thomas could be the correct one.
DS
ps It is the GRO reference that I have quoted in each case. I did not insert “vol” and “page” into the one for Thomas.

DS, thank you so much for your time and help. This is the couple I was looking for. I have no idea why they are in Lincolnshire, but I guess we will find out somewhere along the line. Your help very much appreciated.

hello just updating.my storrs. having had great help from dee.putting me on this site in the first place.
now with the 1911 census now able to look.put my storrs in no luck. here we go again i thought.back to the drawing broard.so i put ester grace storr born 1877 selby.did not put boston in this time .selected all in stead.bingo.it turns out .they are in horncastle lincoinshire.in 1911. wonder if work took them there. also how far from boston is it. and will have to read up on this place.at least it shows how wise i was to wait .instead of trying address for £45 e.t.c.would have been wrong wil get more credit and find out if my storr
did have the children i thought before moving from selby.
after 1903.

Mike, i don't know if this is likely to be any help, but there were thtee Storrs in Selby in 1940 - a Miss Minnie Storr, at 15 Kitchener Street; an A Storr at 14 Richard Street, and E Storr at 65 Green Lane. By 1970, just alfred Storr, 32 Green Lane and Mrs Elsie Storr, 122 Abbott's Road.

hi.just thought.might be intrested.with the storrs in lincolnshire.after 1903?.not sure why moved from selby yet.
maybe work.looking at 1911 census of my smiths. this is what i found.
thomas edward smith age 40.wife alice age 38.had eight children.seven alive by 1911 census.one child called.
maggie smith was born 1905 in new holland lincolnshire.
unsure why new holland.and not selby.?
gertrude howcroft age 31,formally smith.married william howcroft age 33.(IN 1911 CENSUS) had six children.
robert william howcoft born selby 1901.
the rest after 1903. born lincolnshire.
yaddlethorpe.messingham.lin. etc.
so had the storrs.and the howcrofts in licolnshire.after 1903.maybe thomas and alice went to visit.them.and alice expecting at the time.decided to have maggie smith.with people she knew.
what do you think.
mike
