Did Annie die??

[alchemyst]

Annie Nendick born abt 1875 (nee Wedgwood) married to Charles Blanchard Nendick apparently died between 1905/06 and 1910/11 but cannot find a year of death in that time.  Charles married again 1911.
Is it a case of not searching more intensively or a family tale to protect the innocent?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Alchemyst

I see they married 1896? Could you please tell us where they were in 1901 and , the birth place/name of their last known child?

Cheers

Hi Ambly,
Last child was William born 1903 (Hull) The story is that his mother died when he was around 3 years old (could have been older) and he was sent to live with relatives in Beverley.  He later returned to live with his father.
Details are a bit sketchy but something happened in the family to cause a rift in the family that still exists.

Hi again

Found it as you were busy answering .... 

Marriage was in Sculcoates.

1901: Sculcoates
RG13/ Piece 4490- Folio 34- pg 16

Last child??  William Alfred NENDICK b Sculcoates 1903

DEATH: FreeBMD have it as:
Sculcoates  - Sep Qtr 1906 - 9d, pg 141
Annie E Ne_dick
Age 31

I took a look at the image - it is clearly NENDICK to me!!

Well, Ambly, what can I say?  I must be a right dill at this research!! 
Would you be so kind as to tell me how you found her because I assure you I checked every quarter of every site I looked at and I couldn't find her - where did I go wrong?
Many thanks,
Alchemyst

Hi alchemyst
No Dills in Genealogy  - I still can't see for looking sometimes, myself!
But her entry may have been a recent update onto the  FREEBMD? That was the database I used. And while other sites do host the FREEBMD data, I prefer overall to use it at it's own "home" site....  because It has good freedom of search with Wildcarding acceptable in any position.

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

First step : was establishing :--
Where they married
where they had children and when and where was the last born
Where they were in 1901

All answers Sculcoates and last known Jun Qtr 1903 with birth of son there. Husband remarried Jun Qtr 1911 Beverley.
So first try is based on assumption she died in Sculcoates Reg District. between Jun Qtr 1903 and Jun Qtr 1911.

Realising the name NENDICK can be found as NEWDICK, NEUDICK, MENDICK  etc -  I just concentrated on the last part of the name.....

Searched:
First Name: Annie E  (just E will pick up a middle initial E or fully written middle names beginning with E -  no need to wildcard the E as E*)
Last name: *DICK
From Jun Qtr 1903 to Jun  Qtr 1911
District: Sculcoates

Walla!
But If  that had not  found her, I would have first widened the district to all of the East Ridings..etc then  tried shortning her first name to just Ann or Ann* and so on....

Knowing how it's indexed now, if you try to search for it as "NE_DICK" though, it will fail. The search engine doesn't like the underscore.  You'd have to search as NE*DICK

SOmetimes, FREEBMD baulks at a search like this if it takes too much time to run,and is performed at a busy time of the web-day. Especially it there are a lot of wildcards * too.  The search isn't invalid if it times-out , you  just need to try again later when it's not so busy.

Hope this helps! Good luck with further unravellings

Hi Ambly,

My apologies for the delay in getting back to you.  Thank you so much for being so kind as to give me a step by step guide - I might surprise myself and actually tie up some more loose ends!!!

Many thanks & very best wishes,
