Amelia Fanny DOWNING nee LYLE
« on: Thursday 28 July 11 19:03 BST (UK) »
Amelia Fanny Lyle was born c1868 Boyton.  Her father was William Lyle and her mother Amelia Grace Lyle nee Treble.
It would seem that Amelia married William Henry Downing on 30.6.1890.
Did they have any children ...?
What was William's occupation ...?
When did William and Amelia die ...?
Any help or advice would be most appreciated.
Thankyou.

their marriage shows William to be a farmer

burial of Amelia's father

Given that William was 23 in 1890, there's not an obvious death reg for him before 1901 which is a good match for age.

Thank you very much KGarrad and Osprey for your help.
My husband is almost certain that his Great Aunt 'Mill' died somewhere around the mid-late 1940's.
