Hi
You may have to check the death index available on some subscription sites or at many Family History Societies and Archive Depts. It is divded into quarters for each year so may be a long job :( You never know you may be lucky and get a lookup though!

You could narrow down the date of death by checking the Electoral Registers for Edward Street, Halifax to see when they no longer appear.

Thank you for that Maidmarion.     
 I've already looked in BMD but didn't get anywhere, but I'll have to give it a go.

Carolanne

That sounds like Harriet and Ralph

Poor Harriet she buried her husband and mother within a year.
Thanks for your help

Hi My Grandma was Harriet Ann Chapman (nee Robinson) she married Ralph and they had 3 children, Avice, Eric and Joyce who was my mum. Grandad Chapman died in his early 50s and I was too young to remember him. My grans last home was in Brighouse.
My great grandma Bithell also died when I was a toddler. My gran was a wonderful woman and stayed close to my mum all her life. When I get a minute I will post a photo of Ralph and Harriet.
