Harriet Jane Atkins mystery woman
« on: Saturday 01 December 18 14:56 GMT (UK) »

Can anyone help with this puzzle.
An inscription on a grave.
Daniel Mostyn, died January 22. 1900, aged 58 years.
Elizabeth, wife of the above died March 10th, 1903, aged 51  years.
Harriet Jane Atkins, sister of the above died March 20th, 1933. aged 67 .

Daniel was born 1842 Adwy, Bersham, son of Edward Mostyn and Elizabeth Edwards.
Elizabeth Jones  was born about  1850, Broughton area   but I`m not sure who her parents were.
Daniel married Elizabeth at St Giles, Wrexham  in 1876.

Harriet Jane Atkins,  died in Watery Lane ,Wrexham.  I can`t work her out at all, presumably she was Mostyn, but still can`t find her . How is she related.
These are the only Atkins in the same cemetery.

Have you looked for a marriage between a male Atkins and a Harriet Jane Jones or Mostyn?  “Sister of the above” could apply to either Daniel or Elizabeth

Have you looked for her on the 1911 census given she was born around 1866 and presumably married by then?

Who reported her death?

Sister of the above - could it be sister of Elizabeth rather than Daniel?  So Harriet Jane Jones?

Can you trace Elizabeth back on census using her birthplace and see if she had a sister H J.

I appreciate Jones is not the best name to work with.  Or a marriage H J Jones to Atkins.

There's a newspaper report about her death.  Died of shock from burns whilst in bed.  How horrible.

Anyway, article says "... she lived with her brother and sister-in-law, Mr and Mrs Mostyn …"

If Daniel and Harriet are brother and sister  is a big gap, possible though

Have you found Daniel on a census prior to is marriage ?
