Please may i ask for some assistance with this ..

I believe i may have the weong death date for my 2x great grandmother Elizabeth Buck 1875 m. Harry Roberts in 1895. Elizabeth was from Walterloo but moved to Southport at some time where her husband Ernest Buck was - 1881 lived at Fisher Road, North Meols. Lancashire. Thanks

If you know her year of birth you could try searching on FreeBMD as they give approximate ages at death.

Edit: Can you clarify please. She was married twice? More details please as I'm a bit confused.

Thanks

It always helps if you quote any second names Mark. I see that she is actually Elizabeth Ann -

Marriages Sep 1895
Barker Walter Hugh Ormskirk 8b 1264
************Buck Elizabeth Ann Ormskirk 8b 1264
Purslowe Ellen Dora Ormskirk 8b 1264

Sorry about that Christine2 i did know she had a second name but forgot to include...

K Report 17 Apr 2011 17:57

Who was Ernest Buck? Was he her second husband?

Mark

Mark Report 17 Apr 2011 18:01

Ernest Buck married Catherine Roberts

Catherine is the daughter of Harry Roberts and and Elizabeth Buck

Your original post is very confusing as you state she moved to Southport where her husband Ernest Buck was.

I presume you have made a mistake and Ernest Buck would be her son in law.

So you are looking for the death in the name of Roberts.

I assume you are starting your search by looking at Ormskirk?

Could you tell us what death you now think is *not* your Elizabeth A Roberts?

*When* did she move to Southport, any idea?

Don't make people pry info out ... just give it all ...


Last known child 1911. Had you searched for others?

Births Sep 1911 ?
ROBERTS Mary Buck Ormskirk 8b 1669

Southport was in Ormskirk reg dist.

Are these not also likely?

Births Jun 1914
ROBERTS Richard Buck Ormskirk 8b 1748

Births Sep 1917
Roberts Joseph Buck Ormskirk 8b 1282




For info

Originally had a death of 1979 but if born in 1875 this would make her approximately 104 years old .....

JaneyCanuck Report 17 Apr 2011 19:04

Do you know when/where her husband Harry Roberts died??

The 1901 says he was born c1874 in Birkdale, which was in Ormskirk reg dist. I don't see a birth to match.

JaneyCanuck

JaneyCanuck Report 17 Apr 2011 19:06

What 1979 death could match?

Elizabeth Ann Roberts dob 1 Aug 1880 - 1979 Barton

That one doesn't.
