George TEDFORD - death look up
« on: Monday 03 September 12 21:26 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm trying to find info on my ancestor George Tedford, who lived in Tartaraghan, Armagh.

I know he married Abigail Benson in 1829, and his children were born either in
Derrykeeran or Derrykeevan.

I've tried looking for his death but can't seem to find it. According to
his son Stephen's marriage cert. in 1868 both he and his wife Abigail were still alive.

I would really appreciate it if someone could look his or Abigail's death up for me  :)

Thanks,

Daryl

Civil registration of deaths started in 1864. The online registration index covers deaths in Northern Ireland counties from 1864 until 1921. See www.familysearch.org

Hi,

I forgot to say I have already searched for George & Abigail's deaths on familysearch, but the date of births didn't look right. George would have been born between 1800-1810 I think.

Regards,

Daryl

Have you considered this one? (Lurgan is the correct PLU and age on death certificates not always accurate)

Abegail Tedford (age 70) Lurgan registration district Jan./Mar.1888 volume 1 page 640

Yes, I did come across that entry but the age put me off. How do I get a copy of the cert to see if it's my Abigail ?

See here for details on death certificates and how to order them-

Of course, it's possible that George and Abigail were dead before 1864 (marriage certificate may not be accurate) or didn't stay in Ireland.
