Nudge in the right direction please
« on: Saturday 10 May 08 17:33 BST (UK) »

I'm not exactly a beginner but I need a bit of help here, please, to set me off again.

My Grandmother Minnie Wilson died some time around 1953 or 54. I believe she was in either hospital or a nursing home somewhere in Hertfordshire.

Question.
How can I find out more about her death please???
thanks folks

I have her birth certificate and know lots about her ( I remember her!)
She was born Minna Marta Hetwich HILLER

FreeBMD only has info on deaths up to 1939.

How can I find out when she died?Huh Where can I search??

Thanks for your interest, patrish.

Minnie was born in January 1886 in Shoreditch, London. She married Charles Wilson in 1909.

Hi

You can search BMD records (the scans) on Ancestry for free, but you have to register with an e-mail address first.

I've looked through 53 & 54 and, as Patrish says, there's nothing from Herts.  Dec qtr 54 Minne aged 65 in Croydon is another near one.

Cheers

You could do with her age. 
Have you got her marriage cert.  This looks like it

Sept 1909 Shoreditch 1c/145
Minnie Hiller and a Charles William Wilson is on the list.

possible birth

June 1891 Newcastle T 10b/36


Would these be her?

obviously it doesn't seem  so  Wink

So that would make her about 68 ish in 1953/5

So my first find must be wrong  Sad

I have checked 1952 and 1955.... cant see one that fits.

Are you sure she died around that time  Huh

I just KNEW it would work if I used you clever people as a 'sounding board'.
I hadn't realised that Ancestry had birth marriage and death scans up until 1983 online. Senior moment!

A quick look and, behold, there is Minnie M Wilson aged 67 listed in Poplar in 1952. I have no proof of 'Hertfordshire' so must be wrong in that assumption.

Just need the certificate now as final proof.

Thanks again folks!
