Death of Eliza SWAIN
« on: Tuesday 13 July 10 10:45 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to trace the death of Eliza Swain (nee Bigg)

Born Weston, Herts abt 1853
Married James Swain in Islington 1878

They had six children :-

James B. 1882
Fanny B. 1886
John B. 1887
Lizzie B. 1892
Daisy B. 1895
Rose B. 1897

About a month after Rose was born all of the children, apart from Daisy, were christened in Hitchin (15/5/1897).

After that date all of the children turn up in workhouses and fortunately for my G.Grandfather James he was sent to live with his Aunt & Uncle.

We can only guess at the moment that Eliza may have died during Rose's birth but have been unable to track down a death certificate for Eliza.

Any help would be kindly appreciated
