Hello Millipede & Louisa Maud,
I seem to have confused the issue or perhaps not explained myself well.
I am looking for either baptism records or newspaper articles/notices on these 2 Lury sisters. Yes you are correct when you say there were 4 sisters and I have the birth and death specifics for the elder of the sisters being Marian and Gertrude.
The family was well off and did include notices for the births and deaths of their children. I don't have the actual date of death for Agnes Lury but do have it for her sister Anne Harford Lury who did die at The Retreat in Yorkshire. The family were Quakers.
"The Retreat, commonly known as the York Retreat, is a place in England for the treatment of people with mental health needs. Opened in 1796, it is famous for having pioneered the so-called "moral treatment" that became a model for asylums around the world. Founded by William Tuke, it was originally run by and for Quakers but gradually became open to everyone."
Other than Anne Harford the elder 2 sisters died at 11 Furzedown Road, Highfield, Southampton, Hampshire, England.
I know that Agnes' death was registered at Southampton, Hampshire, England and I assume she too died at the same home at which the 3 sisters lived.
When I say 'I have a sub for FindMyPast and they do not seem to be there so wonder if there are any other newspaper sites that may have recorded their births/death?' i simply mean I am unable to locate a notice for Agnes death nor a notice of Anne and Agnes birth in FindMyPast.
I have located them on the census so all OK there.
I am simply looking for some specifics [day/month/year] most likely contained in newspapers for:
* the birth of Agnes & Anne
* the death of Agnes
