Lancashire / Gertrude Billington (Howard) Manchester
« on: Saturday 29 January 11 14:47 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find out any information I can on Gertude Billington. she was my grandmother neice and I believe she was born around 1922. The only ref to her I have is from the Stafford Sentinal in 1925 when her father William Billington killed himself, his wife Catherine (nee Howard) and Jesse and Raymond their children. Gertrude appears to have survived and was described as in a serious condition, and I have the grave records for the family and she is not buried in the communal plot in southern cem. The incident took place in Hulme Manchester. Catherines Parents George and Emma Howard lived in the same street so it would seem likely that they would have taken Gertrude on themselves. George Haward appears in the grave records with the rest of the famil at plot R335 in Southern Cem along with my grandmother Ellen Billington who died giving birth to my father George Johnson in 1926.
Any help in tracing this lady would be greatly appreciated.
