Jane MEALOR died 1955 Leeds.

Hello,

I am interested in this lady, whom I believe may be my Grandfather's sister Jane Kelly.  I have gained the following info:

1955 FreeBMD D Search: JFM 1955 Leeds 2c 540 Jane Mealor aged 62/1893.

1955 Leeds General Cemetery Burial Register MS 421/3/1/25: No.6816:
New Grave 4106 D 8 Feb 1955 Buried 12 Feb Jane Mealor aged 62/1893 of 20 Stocks Hill Leeds 12.

Other than obviously buying the death certificate, which I don't think will help me much, are there any Street Directories which might glean some more info.  I already know a fair bit about her three marriages and one child.  But I've no idea why she would be in Leeds.  She was previously a Housekeeper, so maybe she was doing that in Leeds.  Her third husband died in 1946 Rock Ferry near Birkenhead, Cheshire.  Also I've no idea if there is a gravestone.

Best wishes,
Paul.

Can't help with your query but just looking at his death reg her husband was considerably older than her wasn't he?  He was born 1848

Thanks for the info.   I see I had the Grave Number wrong.  I assume Armitage & Co were maybe the Undertakers??  Yes -- Jane Parrington married John Mealor in 1939  -- he was 92 at the time!  There's a few newspaper articles about him then.  I'm not aware she had any health issues; but my family know virtually nothing about her.  Looks like I'll have to get the Death Cert. Her son left a will, so I may get that also.

The 1955 death certificate shows it is my Grandfather's sister Jane Kelly --- the informant is her son Richard Parrington by her second marriage, and his address was 14 Quarry Street, Leeds 6.  I still don't know why Jane and her son Richard where in Leeds, and at different addresses.  Maybe work-related.  Richard died in 2005 Chorley Lancashire, he left everything to a nearby friend, so I guess he never married nor had kids.
