Can someone help me trace a deceased person please

[CaroleW]

how do I search for all Mary Ann's marrying a Leadbeater please on freeBMD?

I can't see how that is going to confirm her maiden name or whether she was previously married

The simplest way would be to buy a copy of the 1972 marriage cert as it will give you her previous marital status and also her fathers name.  Her fathers surname is her birth surname so you can then search for her birth

struggling to find that 2005 death entry too anywhere

All relevant details for the 2005 death entry are shown in reply 1.  You say you are using Ancestry - do you have a subscription or are you just using the free index?

I pay for it but if I put Mary A Gough and look at deaths and burials it doesn't come up

[groom]

I just put in Mary Anne Gough and it was the first one that came up. Try

Mary Ann  Gough
Leeds
death 2005

That should work

got it!

thanks. how did you know to put 2005 originally?

[groom]

I didn't. I just put in Mary Ann Gough and place of death as Leeds, as that is where they were in 1975.
