The Common Room / Is it possible that a death certificate could have errors?
« on: Wednesday 28 August 19 14:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi, thanks for reading.

I have received my three great grandmothers death certificate today.  I am in the UK and she was also born and bred british but emigrated to Australia after her third marriage.  On her death certificate it says that her daughters age was 42 whereas if everything was right she'd be 49 (maybe minor issue).  But the biggest issue is that the first husbands surname does not match everything I have found about her, and early research into linking her to this new surname reveals nothing so far.  So I am just wondering if it is possible that an ex husbands surname could be mistaken on a death certificate with it being a legal document etc, or have I potentially got half of my family tree wrong? ???  :'(

Thanks in advance.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Trying to find a public? grave
« on: Monday 03 September 18 14:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi there :)

I'm new to this site so I hope I am posting in the correct place.

I am currently trying to find a burial place for my great grandmother, her name was Matilda Gaskell (previously Woodacre and previous to that Whitworth) and she was originally born in Wigan, later lived in Newton in Makerfield and finally in Haydock so always in Lancashire. However she passed away in 1926 at the age of 51, in what was then the workhouse in Warrington.

I have tried the online records offices of St Helens, Warrington and Wigan but can't find a record for her burial (her husband passed three years later and is in a public grave, so I assume she is too, somewhere). I have also contacted Warrington records office but they told me that all the workhouse records were destroyed, to save future embarrassments, so I am starting to think I am looking for something I will never find.   

I think I have found most of Matilda's history but I really would love to find her burial place if I could as I imagine no one has ever managed to go to it. Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks in advance for your help :)
