Lavinia Terry nee Moverly (Moverley)

[Mehrtsgirl]

I was wondering if anyone is researching Lavinia Margaret Terry nee Moverly (Moverley). DOB 1883 married to George Benjamin Terry in 1909. They were from around Gillingham although I believe that Lavinia lived in Maidstone before her death. TIA.

Have you tracked her in censuses?

Thanks for the info everyone. I actually just want to connect with anyone who may be researching her particularly if they are descendants. I have looked for children from this marriage but no luck thus far.

Who registered her death?  That might give a clue as to a relative that was alive then (we know her husband pre-deceased her)

Thank you - great idea!
