I've come back to a bit of a brick wall of mine, the wife of one of my gr, grandfathers. This is what I have
Rosanna Pegg born Jul quarter 1846 in Leicester
1851 Rosana Pegg, aged 6 living with parents John and Mabel Pegg (and assorted siblings) 39 Bedford Street,
1861 Rosanna Pegg, aged 14 living with parents John and Sarah Pegg (and siblings) at 39 Bedford Street,  (I'm assuming Mabel died and Sarah is the stepmother)
1871 Rosanna Pegg, aged 24 living with parents John and Sarah Pegg (and younger brother) at 39 Bedford Street,
1873 - 22nd January Roseanna Pegg marries the widower Henry Edward Cherry in St Margarets
1881 Rosannah Cherry, aged 37, living with husband Henry, 2 step sons and 3 of her own children at 58 Upper Charnwood Street
1891 Rosannah Cherry, aged 43, a widow (Henry died 1889) living with her children and an Ellen Ball (they have Ellen as Rosannahs mother but only 11 years older than her - unless Sarah dies and John Pegg remarried again and it's stepmother) at 107 Crofton Street
1901 Rosanna Cherry, aged 50, a widow living with her 2 daughters at 47 ?rosbury street?
1911 Rosanna Cherry, aged 64, a widow living with her 3 daughters at 4 Matlock Street - form filled out by her daughter Elizabeth

This is where my trail went cold as couldn't find a trace of her after 1911
BUT I've come across a marriage for Roseanna Cherry in 1892 to either William Norton or Francis Tarry in Leicester

I'm wondering if she married Francis Tarry but continued to use her old name as he was committed to an asylum

1881 Francis is unmarried a show riveter in Leicester (aged 24)
1891 - can't find
1901 - a married shoehand, in Leicester workhouse, listed as an imbecile
1903 he dies aged 55

The lunacy records show him being in Leicester borough asylum from 28th October 1901 to 9July 1903 when he died there

have tried looking for deaths for Rosanna under the names of Pegg, Cherry and now Tarry without luck but wondered if any of you would have better luck

Thanks for reading this far

If a woman registers the birth of a child after the death of her husband is she asked to prove the death (and when it happened) or can they just get away (or could they) with giving their dead husbands name as the father, even though he actually died a few years earlier?

A great aunt of mine seems to have had several admissions and discharges to a lunatic asylum before finally dying there.  Up till now those who I have found went in there and never came out so was wondering what sort of thing could have lead to these repeated admissions?

13 Jan 1860 - 12 Jul 1860
25 Nov 1875 - 30 Aug 1876
12 Feb 1877 - 13 Jan 1887 (death)

Could inmates sign themselves out or would family have to do so? (she is living with her parents on the 1861 and 1871 census)

First time I've had to venture across the Atlantic for research and have to admit I'm getting a little lost on where to go next so would appreciate some help.

I'm looking for my gr, gr uncle Thomas Edward Simpson, born 27th Nov 1874 in Leicester, UK to Thomas Simpson and Sarah Ann Green.

He married Jane Bilson on 19th April 1897 at St Marks in Leicester.
They have a little girl, Joyce in 1902

In Aug 1907 the 3 of them go on the Ottawa to Quebec, Canada

21st Nov 1911 their son Thomas Edward is baptised in St Thomas, in Elgin in Canada - I'm assuming this is where they settled.

Then my trail goes dead and I've got stuck.
 
He's a shoehand while he is in England if that is any help
