Hi,
I'm hoping someone with more privileged access to death records might be able to help me with a little problem. I'm trying to trace my Great Auntie Elizabeth Roberts (Nee Fone) born in 1886 in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, England. I have almost all the details about her life up until the point she was married as Roberts is a fairly common surname compared to Fone.
As bad luck would have it, there happen to be 2 death records for an Elizabeth Roberts born 1886 registered in Stoke-on-Trent and I have absolutely no way of telling which is the right one!
The two records are as follows:
Elizabeth Roberts: registered 1st quarter 1957 aged 71, volume 9B Page 567 Line 110
Elizabeth Roberts: registered 1st quarter 1967 aged 81, volume 9B Page 66 Line 21
If anyone can tell me which one was the one born Elizabeth Fone I'd be very grateful as it would save me having to buy both certificates to check!
Regards,
Ian Fone
