Samuel and Mary Feeney ( nee Griffiths ) When did she die?
« on: Thursday 23 January 20 14:51 GMT (UK) »
Samuel and Mary Feeney were married in Shrewsbury in November 1859. He was a bricklayer and was born in Shrewsbury in 1832/3. She was born in Wales in about 1837 and was a servant at the time of their marriage.At the time of the 1881 census they and their children were still living in Shrewsbury. A record for Atcham in 1911 appears to show his death at the age of 78. However I can find no Atcham death record for Mary between 1881 and 1930! Maybe I haven't looked hard enough or it could be that she outlived her husband and moved away from the area.All suggestions gratefully received!

To emeltom, many thanks for those suggestions. I hadn't checked alternative spellings for the surname!

As both Samuel and Mary appear together in the 1911 Census (RG14/RD349/ED16) living at 8 The Armoury, London Road, Shrewsbury I would guess that the death you want is the 1915 one.

to emeltom,thanks again for the further information. Also the spelling for the 1915 death (Feenney) is the same as that on one of her daughters birth certificate.
