Have you got her exact date of birth?  Sometimes that helps when looking for a death if you aren't sure of the surname.

Have you ruled out the death in 1969 Southampton?

Age is out but name is correct  :-\

1955 is the last registry she appears on. So i have at least narrowed down a time frame. but I will investigate more in the morning after some much needed rest :)

She is still at 17 Muncaster Road up to 1960 on the electoral rolls.

The point I was making here was that she was still alive up to 1960,whereas the OP thought she may have died when she could no longer find her after 1955.

Maybe she went abroad- or to Scotland or Ireland?

Esther Gertrude Osland was born in the Dec 1/4 of 1890.

In 1916 she married...

Marriages Dec 1916   

Fisher    Hubert G    to Osland    Pewsey    5a   307    

Osland    Esther G    to Fisher    Pewsey    5a   307   

I think she is the Esther Gertrude Fisher who died in 1969.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

Just finished doing all the housework. Feeling much refreshed and my eyes want to work.

17 Muncaster Road is the address of Esther and her parents, Albert and Catherine. As far as we are aware Esther never married. She was born in 1900 in Wandsworth. I don't have the exact birth date although she was baptised in 1903

17 Muncaster Road is the address of Esther and her parents, Albert and Catherine.

That address ties in with this entry

Free search of 1939 shows an Esther G Fisher bn 1900 living Battersea area - surname amended to Morrison.  Other person in house Albert E bn 1866

Why would the Surname be amended. She never married, as far as i can find and everything that i do find says she is a spinster. Surely if she married and the husband died she would be classed as a widow and if they divorced or he abandoned her, it would says something to indicate this.

Surnames are amended on the 1939 register if someone marries or changes their name.  The NHS used and updated the register until 1990

As you have the address 17 Muncaster Road perhaps you could ask for an electoral register look up after 1960.

It would mean someone would have to visit archives and possibly order documents in advance so not a quick fix and not guaranteed that you would get a volunteer. You could get it checked for say every 5 or 10 years initially  :-\


Not there after 1960 see reply 27
