My GG grandmother Hannah Turner maiden name Hodgkins, b1862 Staffordshire, d1960 died in Leicester, I know she received a telegram on her 100th birthday.  I remember seeing a paper cutting about it. Can anyone throw any light onto the cutting.
Many Thanks.

You say she was born in 1862- so would have been 100 in 1962.

And yet she died in 1960.

The Queen wouldn't have sent a telegram to her if she'd already died?

Is this her death?

Death Age:   80
Registration Date:   June 1/4 of 1960

If she was living in Staffs in 1939 she was born 1862 but that doesn't mean she reached 100.  There is a 1955 death in Staffs

There is no Leics death of a 100yr + 

Re death above - if aged 80 - birthyear 1880

freebmd has a Hannah Hodgkins birth in March qtr 1863 Dudley.  If she was born late Nov/Dec 1862 it could be her birth reg but there is no Hodgkins marriage to a Turner unless she married more than once

Should that read Hannah Hodgkins maiden name Turner?

It could have been for a Dimond Wedding anniversary 60 years. It would have to have been applied for, anniversary telegrams, now cards, are not sent automatically like 100th Birthdays.
