Elizabeth Parkinson death info 1927-1931

[drmjgould]

This lady lived at 'Robbery Bottom' a bit north of Welwyn in Hertfordshire in approx 1920's. She was born approx. 1874-1884 probably around Manchester [or possibly Macclesfield, or Liverpool]. According to family sources she died around 1928-29, but not known whether she died in Hertfordshire or elsewhere. She had family connections in Chorlton in Lancashire, & Bedford & Sharnbrook in Bedfordshire from 1911 to death. It is probable that she never married, but this is not certain. It is proving pretty difficult to find when & where she died & ANY help with this would be very welcome

If we find a death for an Elizabeth Parkinson in 1928 in Hertfordshire of a lady born in 1879, what proof would you need that it was the correct lady?

If she had written a will, do you have any idea who she might have left anything to?

[Milliepede]

She was born approx. 1874-1884 probably around Manchester

Have you got this lady on any census?

Do you know who her parents were so we can track her?

[Pennines]

Just wondering how you know she died between 1927-1931 please.

Parkinson is a pretty common name to check for a birth and it be the correct one.

Do you have any other info, such as siblings names? This would provide at least a possible clue on a birth or a census if she can be 'attached' to another name as well. On a birth it would be the same mother's maiden name for Elizabeth AND a sibling to give that important 'clue'.

A search on Ancestry of all Eliz/sabeth Parkinsons born 1874 to 1884, died 1926 to 1930, gives 10 hits.

Just seen you have written died 1928-1929 but your heading is 1927-1931.  Which one is it, or just a guess?

Just to narrow down the date a bit (or a least the minimum year):

Electoral registers:
1929-1930 - Robbery Bottom, Welwyn: Elizabeth Parkinson

[chempat]

cuffie81,

Could you find her there before that date?

She could have died at the end of 1928, if allowing for compilation and publishing of data?

[chempat]

Found a Frederick Ray in Robbery Bottom, Oaklands in 1929 Kelly's Directory, but presumably there are several houses along the road.

[cuffie81]

Could you find her there before that date?

She could have died at the end of 1928, if allowing for compilation and publishing of data?

No, I couldn't find her before or afterwards. I'll double check though.


Also, I think this may be the family drmjgould is referring to. I'm not entirely sure this is actually the same family, let alone the right family.
