Mary Ann Bell Nee Clutton

[NorthernGeezer]

Struggling to find the death of a great grandmother.
She was born in 1883 to a Thomas Clutton and Sarah Jane Minshull, I think in Wheelock but appears to have been christened in Ellesmere Port, which in itself looks strange but her family were boat people.
On the 1901 census it shows her in Sandbach but with a birthplace of Ellesmere Port too.
She married my great grandfather, Joseph Bell in Wheelock in 1904, had 3 children, William, Elsie Jane, and Alice and then died in 1907, the same year as her mother.
Fly in the ointment time, I believe there is ANOTHER Mary Ann Bell of the same age died at the same time, which complicates matters.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Have you the death certificate for 1907 to confirm the correct person or haven’t you found a death registration for her?

What is the evidence for her death in 1907? 

Are both ladies who died in 1907 the same age?

Are you sure she died in 1907? There's a Mary Ann Bell (age 26) of Wheelock who was buried 1 April 1909.
On the same Burial page is an Enoch Minshull (age 6) of Wheelock. He drowned in the Canal.
Enoch's burial date was 1 May 1909.

I've got a GRO ref 8a/188 for a death in Q3 1907.
Enoch Minshull is confusing as its the surname of her mother but I haven't found a death in that year.

Wondering now who's child Enoch was and is the canal incident just a coincidence?

So Enoch Minshull senior must have been a relative of Sarah Jane Minshull, uncle of Mary Ann.
