Elizabeth Emma Manning is recorded as having died at St. Helier on 12 November 1924, and was buried on the 14 November in St. Helier, being the widow of Henry George Pinder. She was born in Devon around 1856, her father was John Manning. I believe her mother was from Jersey, but I cannot trace her name. Can anyone suggest how I may find out about her mother's family?

Welcome to Rootschat
Can you confirm if her death reg records her as Pinder rather than Manning?
She married in 1879 as per freebmd but there is no birth on freebmd matching an 1856 birthyear
Elizabeth was 22yrs old and her father John is shown as a baker

The Jersey, Church of EnglandDeaths and Burials says "Elizabeth Emma Manning widow of Henry George Pinder, died 12t November 1924, No.352, buried 14th November, age 69, domicile St Helier's." I believe her mother was French and from Jersey, although she was born in Devon. I know when she married, her father was a witness and he was shown as a baker, but I have had no real success in determining who her mother was. I just wondered if there would be a gravestone in St. Helier and whether that might give more information? Thank you for your help.
