HELP PLEASE? Need to find Alice Schofield ASAP?

[susan57]

Hello, I would love to track down Alice Schofield for my 92 year old auntie. Alice was her mother although she and her sister were not brought up by her. Alice died in childbirth in her 40's, and as my auntie was the youngest it would be  June 1924. She married John William Schofield in 1919 and had apparently had other children although I'm not sure if they were to John or a previous relationship.
My auntie believes her to be buried/cremated at Beckett St cemetery in Leeds. PLEASE can anyone help find Alice???
Thanks

What was her maiden name

If it was Lane this could be her death as it tie in with a birth in the same quarter

Hi

There's a death on www.freebmd.org.uk Sept 1925 in Leeds for Alice Schofield aged 40

There's a Schofield/Lane marriage in Leeds in 1919 and 3 children born Leeds 1920, 1922 and Sept 1925 which could tie up with the death.

Looking at the burial register online, she seems to be in common or public plot with other unrelated people so there most probably won't be a headstone.

Well rosie99 and dawnsh that was quick THANKS!! Its a real puzzle. The details on my aunties birth certificate were for "Alice Schofield, late Lane, formerly Briggs", so the Lane connection fits. Trouble is my auntie and her sister were born 1923 and 1924 but they never lived with her and were brought up in "scattered houses " in Leeds? Will have a look at freebsd.org.uk and see what I find. Might get back to you. Thanks again

There are Schofield/Briggs children also born in Leeds for that time frame but you will know which ones are correct.

the marriage certificate is on ancestry and gives the father of alice as Thomas palfreyman lane - engine driver and alice as 33 and a spinster.
