Look-Up: Newspaper Death Notice or Obituary Eliza Searson 9 Oct 1897
« on: Tuesday 21 July 15 00:22 BST (UK) »
I am hoping someone with access to the Manchester public library may be able to help.

I am looking for the death notice or obituary of Eliza Searson (age 47), wife of John Searson.

Death of Death - 9 October 1897.

Address - 24 Howard Street, South Manchester (Chorlton / Hulme)

Many thanks.

I am also struggling in trying to find the cemetery that Eliza Searson may have been buried in.  The family lived at 24 Howard Street, Hulme, Manchester. 

I have not had any luck with the online burial search engine by the Manchester City Council (http://www.burialrecords.manchester.gov.uk/).  I have obtained an official death entry from Manchester but it fails to mention where she was buried.

Have you found baptism or marriage records for them and their children? Maybe she was burried at a Hulme church? Many of them aren't standing anymore though. Not sure whether their records would be at Manchester Library or not.

Is this one of their daughters?
