What happened to Maggie?
« on: Sunday 11 February 24 17:53 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, I am struggling to find my great x3 aunt's death. She was born Maggie Broad on 25th April 1882 in Threapwood, Flintshire (Partly in Cheshire) to Edward and Sarah. She married John Huxley in 1904, who died in 1919. Maggie is last found living at The Beech Farm, Worthenbury, Flintshire in 1921.

I can't find any record of her after this. Can anyone help? I have checked Ancestry, FindMyPast, Google and the Newspapers, but no joy.

Hi,

Just a thought and a wild guess, but have you looked at a death of a Margaret Huxley age 85 in Sept Qtr 1968?

Using her birth date as 1882 - it seems a possibility. The district is Hiraethog in the nearby Denbigh Moors area.

Hi,

Have just found a death for a Maggie Jones of The Beeches, Worthenbury on 29 Nov 1932 age 51 on Flintshire, Worthenbury Anglian Burials, on Ancestry.

Seems more likely than previous guess - did she remarry a Jones?

Hi,

Maybe it would be a good idea to get the death certificate - it should tell you the name f the informant, and give you more precise details etc - Dec Qtr 1932 -  Maggie Jones - Ellesmere District -
 Vol 6a Page 774.

Just bought the digital version - a sad one, she took her own life!
