Title: Frances McPake (nee. Turner)
Post by: SkyeSpotter on Tuesday 25 February 25 13:38 GMT (UK)

Hello all,

I would like some help please with Frances 'Fanny' McPake (nee. Turner). She was born to William and Isabella in 1870, Gateshead. She married John McPake in 1893 in Gateshead. I can find her up till the 1939 register however I cannot find a death record for her. Frances was still alive by 1944 as she was left money in probate from her brother Robert. John died in 1953 and in the probate left money to his eldest daughter, Jane. There is no mention of Frances.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
SkyeSpotter

She was buried at Felling Cemetery on 11th July 1950. Her age was given as 80.

So this must be her death, age incorrect (misread 80 for 86?)
