Ada Hill, b. Reigate 1876

[Plummiegirl]

Did she die in the UK, on some death records the dob is shown, if you are lucky ( have found a few on mine).

If she did die in Reigate and was buried in either Reigate or Redstone cemetaries do phone the cemetery office on  01737 761592  as you know the year she died and her married name they will check to see if she is buried there.  Well worth giving them a call, very helpful and if not too busy will look up immediately.

The year of her death would indicate she would in all probability be in Reigate as Redstone was not opened until 1932.

Good luck


oh & the wrong 'Hill' family found were mine!!

Thanks for the tip, Plummiegirl,
but were dates of birth recorded for deaths as early as 1904?

She died in Malvern (Worcs.) with the married name Brown.
I always think it was so inconsiderate of my ancestors to choose that surname.  Her mother-in-law was a Jones, too!

I think a lot depended on the registrar and whether or not this data was transferred to GRO.

Have found DOB on many and varied death records.  It is all very hit & miss on the earlier (would say post 1895 - about 1911) records.
