Hi.
I am stumped with this one, wonder if a fresh pair of eyes has any ideas?
Edith Collin was born in Oldham 5 November 1869
She was baptised Edith Alice on Dec 16 1869 daughter of Job & Mary Collin
She is with her family in 1871, 1881 & 1891 when she was a 21 year old cotton reeler.
Her mother died in 1892 and in 1901 she is nearby, listed as Edith Collins 31 cotton reeler, lodging with a Sabrina Smith 48.
In 1911 Sabrina is lodging with others and no sign of Edith but no death or marriage between 1901-11 and nothing obvious in immigration.I searched on just first name for if she was a common law wife but nothing works out.
Then I found a death & burial in Oldham that may be her?
Edith Alice Bidle died 10 November 1947 age 79 at 449 Rochdale Road, which was the workhouse. Its the only Bidle ever registered in Oldham
The archives told me she was not an inmate but had died in the workhouse infirmary and no further information. She is buried in Chadderton Cemetery in a public grave.
The register office told me that the death certificate would not identify her only that she had been someones wife, so probably a widow?
Edith younger brother William never married he lived with sisters and later alone dying in 1950, his age is wrong but it is him because his nephew bought his grave in Failsworth Cemetery where he is buried alone. The parents grave is in Greenaces but no Edith in it.
Edith Alice
Thank you Glyn
