FreeBMD shows this possible death:
June qtr 1965
Haringey district vol 5b, page 768
Aldrich, Elizabeth age 72
This does look like a good possibility. I guess my next action is to order a death certificate (if possible) to see if I can positively identify this as my great aunt. Thank you KGarrad
Unfortunately, Death Certificates in England & Wales don't contain a lot of information?!
The only "confirmation" you are likely to get is the informant - and that could be anybody.
Yes you are right.
MarriageI am struggling to find a marriage anywhere, I've looked in England, Scotland and Ireland and nothing really looks like a real possibility. A general question, let's say for arguments sake that her marriage to Mr. Aldrich was her 2nd marriage, would she then be recorded on freebmd with her first married name or her made name of Lyons?
The only marriages between 1932-1955 for a Herbert Aldrich are as follows:
Marriages Sep 1937 (>99%) Aldrich Herbert W Warne Epping 4a 1592
Marriages Jun 1941 (>99%) Aldrich Herbert H S Harold Hammersmith 1a 469
Marriages Sep 1937 (>99%) WARNE Tryphena Aldrich Epping 4a 1592
Marriages Jun 1941 (>99%) Harold Edith Aldrich Hammersmith 1a 469June qtr 1965 - Haringey district - vol 5b, page 768 - Aldrich, Elizabeth - age 72For this record (above) the following are two possible matches for the same person (which would eliminate my Elizabeth.
Births Mar 1890 (>99%) Aldrich Elizabeth Holborn 1b 715
