George William Greenfield was her brother.  I will check the probate record.  I never thought of them as wealthy.

So does this mean that there was nothing suspicious (ie reported in the news) about the death of her first husband, Robert William Linton,  about Spring qtr 1901, please?

Thank you.  I didn't realise that it was her 'then' current husband.  I thought it was her ex husband.  This is confusing me.  I must dig deeper and come back.

Mrs Zaph.

Thank you all for all of this.  I'm quite amazed.  I will follow the advice about reporting. 

Can I ask for further help with the suicide report on her first husband, Robert William Linton, mentioned, about HIS suicide, about Spring 1901, please?

That's in keeping with legend, although laudanum was mentioned.  Are you allowed to post the clipping, please?

Would this explain the missing record?  We've never found out anything about G Parker's death.

We found the following death record on FreeBMD but we can't find the corresponding entry on GRO.

Deaths Dec 1903, Parker    Ada    38    Easington       10a       303

We are quite interested in obtaining the death certificate, or at least an image, for £2.50, as according to family lore this person died an unusual death. Why can't we find her on the GRO records?  Could she just be wrongly spelled?

Previously she was (born) Ada Greenfield, Easington, 1864, then married to a pork butcher, Robert William Linton in Sunderland in 1886.  Robert died in 1901 and Ada LINTON quickly remarried to George Shevlin Parker, another butcher, in Sunderland in June 1901.

The four commonest ERRORS for names changing are, one person mishearing it or misreading/mispronouncing it, or somebody else writing it incorrectly or pronouncing it incorrectly.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA to solve brickwalls?

Further to what I said earlier, and what Coombs has just said, DNA testing has shown that two of my 16 great great grandparents had illicit children. I don't think that's untypical.

I'll echo Biggles. And also add anyone interested in family history but doesn't have their DNA tested probably inherited the Silly Gene. Family history without DNA is like watching a film without sound.  It's lead me to discoveries that I would never have made otherwise, making a mockery of my research otherwise. But it isn't easy. You need many skills.
