I would say yes - Lizzie Myron, Grand niece.


Edit to add
And here is someone who actually died of old age also =  senile decay.   There was another thread saying how people had to die of something rather than just old age.  But here is one such - good for her!!

I can’t see a Lizzie on the 1911 census, only a young Elizabeth:

MYRON Elizabeth 1911 F 15 162/ 7/ 5 Mortlach Banff

Jamjar

Added: There is one Lizzie birth I can see:

MYRON Lizzie Jane F 1897 652/2 1212 Coatbridge or Old Monkland, but think this one died Sterling in 1898.

Is this Margaret on the 1901? MYRON Margaret 1901 F 76 162/ 7/ 9 Mortlach Banff

Thanks everyone - I thought it would be short for Elizabeth as well

Yeah I can't find Lizzie and I don't have a census record either

That's good news for me, as a lot of my ancestors death certs say senile decay!
