Looking for a death record

[hanes teulu]

Re. the Mary A Williams, born Woolsey (Devon), age 89 on the '91 Census, have you discounted the Mary Williams, died Dover, Sep Qtr 1893, Dover, 2a 649 - age 86
.
Head of household, Joseph Newman, in 1891 is mentioned in the sale of
"No. 36, Seven Star Street contains 4 bedrooms, 2 sitting rooms and cellar, and is let to Mr Newman, a very old tenant, at 5s a week, tenant paying Water & Poor Rates".

Ages/years of birth are notoriously suspect on past documents. A sight of the death cert. might confirm this is the Mary A Williams at the 1891 Census address but would not identify her as the Mary A Williams you are chasing.

The 1891 Mary (A) Williams is with her husband Richard in Dover in 1881
RG11/1004
Folio 39
Page 28

ADDED They can also be found in Dover in 1871 & 1861

This particular Mary Williams died at the Dover Union (?) buried 8 July 1893

Well, that puts my theory to bed then 

I just have to keep on searching for Alexander's parents, Mary Ann and Philip - and try to figure out why he was sent up to Ullapool after the 1861 census.

Thanks for that. I'm not really getting anywhere, but managing to get names discounted from research.

You perhaps need to look at the 1876 death I mentioned.  I don't think you are going to find her as Williams.  By 1862 she was 61 & surname McCree so I can't see her reverting back to Williams after 2 marriages

Perhaps I should order that death certificate. Would Poplar be in the right area?

I've just ordered the death record from GRO.
Keep your fingers crossed that it's the right one - then I only have to find a death record for her husband, Philip.
Thank you for all your help and advice

Oh dear - I think it may be the Mary McCree b Poplar & living there in 1871.  Can you cancel your order for the death cert??

Could Philip have died at sea?
