Title: Deaths of Henry Ward b. 1837 (Railway Engine Driver) and Sarah Ward b.1845
Post by: illjaorterpa on Sunday 14 October 18 09:43 BST (UK)

Hi
For many years Ive been trying to find when and where my great grandparents died. They lived in Stanground and Fletton, Peterborough all their lives at least till 1911! In 1901 and 1911 they lived at
9 Great Eastern Railway Cottages, Fletton, Peterborough - Henry was a retired Railway Engine Driver then the trail ends. Would anyone know where there would be any electoral registers for that address for the years after 1911? i have searched all the BDM, Family search and ancestry and not found anything that matches either of them. Any help or useful suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks Jill

thank you - is there anyway of getting the information from the  death certificates without paying the gro. I have started getting the email version but its still £6 each and until i get more collaborative information about if they moved i cant keep sending off for them as they are both quite common names.

Harry Ward
b1837
3Q 1915
Peterborough
3B 221

I'm afraid there's no way of accessing the details without buying the record. You could try looking for a mention in the newpapers but I haven't found anything.

Thank you. I think Harry could be a possibility. And Sarah Ward - St Neots. will send for these death certificates - fingers crossed.
