death cert info

[pompey welsh]

Hi, I'm probably asking the impossible but thought id put out there to all you wizards! I ordered what I hoped would be my G Grandmothers death cert, hopefully showing an address or someone that is relevant....but the cert doesn't really give me any info I can go on, I was hoping for maybe one of her children to be on the informant part....is there any way I can find out if this is my Sarah Ford? Her last address on 1911 census was in Croydon, however her whole life had been around Battersea and Lambeth. I have checked 9 Grant Road and there appears to be a Thomas John Nash at the same address...her sister married a John Nash but they had no living children and both her sister and her husband are deceased. Any little snippet to try would be much appreciated

It says she was the widow of Thomas Ford occ Metal Sorter, does that not help

No, as i cant find his death, all i know is he was alive in 1901 at the workhouse (with his family) but on the 1911 Sarah says she's a widow, also his name is too common for me to order all the death certs that could possible be him.

Could you please give the details for the family in 1901

I see that you have another post where John has posted a baptism in 1899 for William Charles Ford, parents Thomas & Sarah - father Thomas a Labourer - abode 51 High Street, Bow.  Is this the same couple

Hi yes, same people. I cant locate them in 1901 but have Thomas, Sarah and 2 children John and William with them sunday 13th Aug 1902 at newington workhouse, Southwark.

When Thomas Ford married Sarah Turner in 1881 she did not mention a middle name.

no, but her birth does. her 2nd daughter was also called jane, her first was mary margaret which is her mother and sisters names.....Margaret is also at the same address with sarah on 1911 census,
