Hi Annette

The Fairways, is a residential care home in Oxhey, Watford.....

Perhaps you could contact them to see if there is anything at all they could/would be willing to  tell you?
Even to know where Mary  was buried perhaps, or if there was notice in a local paper when she died?


Cheers

Thanks Ambly,

Have just come back from holidays and am still having a bit of Jet Lag which I thought I had gotten over, not so by my mistakes.
Thanks for pointing it out and I have sent an enquiry to the home, thanks again.

Regards
annette.

Do you have the 4 children's names and approx dofb? if so the mothers maiden name should be listed on the BMD indexes, and then you could go back to the marriage index.---but you have probably done that!!

Hi Alunno-a,

Thanks for your reply.
I have names of two of her children,  Derek and Mary. That is all at the moment.
Like looking for a needle in a haystack!!

Hi Annette

Looking at the death registration:

Mary May FROST, b November 1902, death  July 1991, registered Watford.
So she was 88 when she died? And this gives you a middle name to work with.

Cheers
