Wellingborough DEATH / BURIAL

[Dale]

Greetings from New Zealand

I have noticed on Free BMD that one SUSAN FAIREY  died Dec Qtr 1937 3b/151 aged 75 Wellingborough.
My Susan was born 1862 in Riseley Beds and my last "sighting" of her was as the Informant at her mother's death in Nov 1914 in Riseley.

I know that Susan's sister Phoebe married George Barker in 1881 Wellingborough and that both George & Phoebe died in W'boro.
Another sister Caroline married William Allen in W'boro and she died in 1901 aged 34.

I'm presuming that Susan also resided in the area sometime after 1914.

Is someone able to give guidance as to Electoral Rolls or other info which might help me these folk before their deaths?
Any cemetery searches available online?
Is anyone connected to the Fairey, Barker or Allen lines that may help me define the family further?


Very grateful for any hints/guidance/assistance!
TIA

Electoral registers are only searchable by address for that period - and are not online

The Wellingborough Registration District covered many areas - see link below

Fairey was not an uncommon surname in Northants

Thanks Carole.
Thanks for the info!

I was aware W'boro involved many villages - I know the Barkers were in Earls Barton, another sister of Susan's named Jane (Green) was in Irthlingborough (as was their brother Belah)  then Rushden, Their sister Charlotte (Webb) was in Northampton itself.
Susan was one of 19 children so almost all of the Fairey, Fairy, Farey clan around Northants are related and belong in my family tree!

I am just getting back to the family tree after several years of spasmodic forays so it's a case of Famliarising myself again with names & catching up with what's new!

Try www.rushdenheritage.co.uk

Look for the genealogy page, there are some cemetery records on there including the municipal cemetery. I found a plot reference for a great, great grandfather who died in higham ferrers in 1915.  There's lot of info on there. It's very interesting.

Thanks for the link Weste! I'll explore it tomorrow as bed calls right now!

Looking at the 1901/1911 there only seems to be one other Susan Fairey in Northants and she was b 1867 and appears to have died in 1944 so it looks a good bet that the death in 1937 is your Susan
