Hello.
I am trying to find a list of the full names of the mayoresses of Northampton between 1870 and 1930.
One of my great aunt's sisters was Northampton's mayoress: her sister's first names were Ann, Jane and Mary.

Thank you.

A warm welcome to Rootschat.

Northampton Council has a pdf file listing mayors (search "the mayors of northampton - Northampton Borough Council" on google), but I don't think you will find a list of mayoresses.  The only ways I can think of would be (1) to check FreeBMD for marriages with your great aunt's maiden surname and see if they match anyone on the list of mayors: (2) try to find an obituary for every mayor and see if they mention marriages.
