Fergus Steel 1843 Kirklinton
« on: Friday 18 July 14 18:03 BST (UK) »
Hello

I was looking at the census for an ancestor named Fergus Steel, born to Fergus in 1843 Kirklinton.

He is on the 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881 census, however he and his family vanish in the 1891 census. Looking at the death records shows nothing, where did they go?

thanks

Try :- https://familysearch.org/

The USA does not have a BMD index as does the UK. What is available varies County to county and State to State.

Thanks, you are right, I cannot find a death date for Eleanor and Fergus.

Is Mary V Steele Elizabeth's daughter?
