Hi Karen,

I can't see a death, however if her death hasn't been transcribed yet it would mean searching every quarter by quarter........ that's a very time consuming thing.

Maybe an idea to ask on a thread for an electroll look up in Peterborough in the 1920's and 30's, this would narrow down the years for you.

In 1911 there is an Alexander Burton not Alexandra, living in Peterborough witha John Burton born 1900, now Jack was a name used for John.

Alexander was born in 1863.

I'm wondering if this is the grandson you stated???

Hi Karen,

I need to identify her married name first, I can't find 1 under Surrell, the census image isn't very clear.

I'll keep looking for that 1st or we'll never find her death.
