The Common Room / Death Cert Question *COMPLETED*
« on: Sunday 17 May 09 19:40 BST (UK)  »
When a woman dies, her certificate shows something like

"wife of John SMITH"
or
"widow of George BROWN"
or
"daughter of James WHITE"

If she were unmarried, would it say "a single woman"?

My gg-gm Mary Ann YOUL (bap 1844, Cockermouth) married John BELL in Whitehaven in 1864.  He died in 1875.

She then married Thomas WALLACE in 1878, again in Whitehaven.  His father was named as John WALLACE, Shoemaker.

Mary A 46 Durham Newcastle (swapped birthplaces?)

1901

Mary 58 Cockermouth

Can Tom be found in 1861 or 1871?

The Common Room / FreeBMD search oddity
« on: Sunday 08 February 09 12:08 GMT (UK)  »
You probably know that you can use "*" or "+" for wildcard searches on FreeBMD - Note: "plus" can only be used for forename search.

I was just searching for a Herbert BURCH

Searching All types -   BURCH *Herb gave results 1856-1909

using  All types -   BURCH +Herb gave results 1844-1933

Not what I would have expected ???
