Hi Andy

Sorry nobody has been able to help you directly.  The best option I guess is the trawl through the Death Indexes online here http://www.1837online.com/Trace2web/ which is a paysite.

Best of luck
Jonathan

Hello, Andy,

I see you have not had any reply to your post for the death of George Balls.

Do you have the death certificate for Mary Balls ?   She died aged 68   Mar. ¼  1913  Hackney  1b  662.    I ask because you say " it doesn't say if she is a widow".  Usually death certs for wives will always state "wife of" or "widow of".   Also, who registered the death ?   There is usually a clue there, if she was survived by George, he could have reg'd the death.

Meliora

RIP 1927-2018
