Hi I was searching for my g grandmothers death, she was born Elizabeth mary ann Gillett dec 1862 Highbury Islington, she married William Day. I came across deceased online and decided to check on there. I found a Elizabeth Mary Ann Day buried in Rainham Cemetery 1941, as her son my grandad is buried there i thought great i,ve found her, but when i checked with death index they have her age as 34 , do you think this is an error. There is no other Elizabeth day in my tree , any help would be great Pat

They might have made an error transcribing the age. It might also be that this is a daughter with her mother's name. Have you checked for a death certificate or even looked at the death notices in the local paper?
