 I did look at her but she is not born Royton and the lady I am hoping is her shows Royton.
There is a marriage 1884 for Mary H Barnes and John W Matley at St Thomas, Werneth that I had assumed was her but have not checked the record.

Just had a look and yes the marriage is her - the witness is Miriam Oates.
So that lady is not ours.

The birthdate in 1939 matches the quarter for Mary H Booth mmn Booth.

There is no baptism at St Paul’s Royton for this child in 1865 -there is a different Mary Booth which is not her.

What about this death: 1947 Anne Pickering, Oswaldtwistle? (Lancashire BMD)

Edit. She may be buried at Accrington Cemetery or in a churchyard in Oswaldtwistle or Accrington. Only Accrington Cemetery records on LAN OPC are from 19thC.

That certainly looks like her. Registered June quarter 1947 in Darwen,Lancashire, age 82.

The Annie Pickering that died in 1947, I originally thought was my Annie. I got her death record and it said her Father was William Pickering, deceased but my Annie's maiden name according to the baptism records for her children was Barnes. What also was strange, her sister Sara Barnes was the informant at the time of her death. When I saw Barnes I thought at first I found my Annie, but Barnes, was her sister's married name. The sister's maiden names would be Barnes.

Again I am away for a few days from my research, but will continue and advise after really looking at Heywood's tip of Mary Hannah Barnes born 1864-Oldham, the census record in 1871 and also try and speak with my 93 years old Mother-in-law for hopefully some information if she can remember.

Cheers to all my kind, lovely helpers!!!

Was it usual to state father's name on English death certificate of a woman of 82? Did the death certificate have her marital state?

I realise now that the Annie who died in 1947 is the unmarried one found living with her sisters in Oswaldtwistle in 1911 and 1939 ( see my reply #4 above).

There were a lot of women called Ann Pickering or with Ann as middle name in the Blackburn area.
Barnes is another common name. I have some.

Hello Sean and welcome to RootsChat. You appear to have posted on the wrong thread but I see from your profile that you found the right one. I was scratching my head trying to figure out how John Durkin fitted in here.    We're befuddled enough already on this thread. On the other hand, when I read your post I thought you might have the answers we seek.
