Elizabeth Prior- Newspaper lookup to confirm 1923 death

[MikeyP84]

Hoping someone can help me.

I am trying to find out if there exists a obituary for Elizabeth Prior, to confirm a death date of Sep 1923 Hackney.

The last census entry I have is 1921, where she is with her daughter Eva and Selina Gee.

Elizabeth Prior
Born 1841 Cork, Cork, Ireland
Living in Eltham, Lewisham, London, Kent.

Previously lived at 6 James Street Colchester.

Widow of Samuel Prior, children Elizabeth Harden, Samuel, William, Louisa Holmes, Thomas and Selina Gee. Along with Francis Lynch from a previous marriage.

The best confirmation of the date would be on the death certificate. 

Newspaper reports can have errors.

The death registration in Hackney has age 82.

That's what I'm thinking I'll have to do. Just wanted to double check I was ordering the correct certificate, as not sure where or who she was living with, after everyone flew the nest.

The age certainly fits.  I would imagine as she was elderly her daughter would still be looking after her.

Is Hackney the right area for where she was in 1921? 

Sometimes you just have to take a chance and cross your fingers!

Had a quick search  but didn't some across anything, others may be luckier for you.

You may be aware but just in case you're not you can order a digital image from GRO cost £2.50

Thanks, I think that may well be the best option. I hadn't realised England had finally got with the times and brought in digital records.

Thanks for the advice just checked and it's not her who died in 1923. Oh well one crossed off the list, anyhow.

Oh no sorry it wasn't the right one but yes one to rule out at least. 

Just out of interest what ruled it out?

She could be buried with her husband if you know where he is.
