WELL
not sure where shes gone either i have trawlled the ancesrty deaths qtr by qtr & can,t find her death looks like shes vanished aswell

just a thought when her 2nd husband died in 1915 she would have only been 44/45 years old i wonder if she married again ???? just a thought
there is a few florence a duckworth married shortly after her 2nd husband died in 1915 just not sure if shes one of them as it only give a as middle name as A & not alberta

hi anne
i,m back on the case LOL
this looks like florence,s 2nd husbands death

just seen that rootgather is also back on the case tooo LOL


England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index: 1837-1915
about Tattersall Duckworth
Name: Tattersall Duckworth
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1851
Year of Registration: 1915
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Age at Death: 64
District: Fylde
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8e
Page: 997

so i,m thinking that the surname on the marriage is right DUCKWORTH rather than DAWSON that is on the 1911 census so we are lloking for florences death with the surname DUCKWORTH
stiil no luck with her 1st husbands death or any record of him to be found its like he just vanished will keep looking though

jacky

ps do you know if florence alberta stayed in the lancashire area or did she move away

From the other enquiry about the name Harry - GlitterBaby has found Florence and Harry on the 1891 census.

This could be him in 1881 - you can check the father's occupation with that on the marriage certificate.

Superb Jacky!! How the devil did you manage to find that? So is that Tattersall Duckworth transcribed as Takersall Dawson? Great work! So really her death should be listed as Florence Alberta Duckworth .......or maybe Dawson?

anne
i will try to explain it for you hun she was born with surname watton
she then married harry HURCOMBE
not sure whats happened to him he may have died ?? she then went onto marry
Duckworth Tattersall in 1910
so she will have died with surname either
duckworth
or
dawson
as i,m not sure whitch is the right surname as she married in 1910 he was Duckworth Tattersall
but on the 1911 census the surname is dawson
hope that explaines it a little better for you


i have also got to leave the site at the minute as my grandson has just arrived & its his birthday so we are going to do prezzies & cake will be bcak later to check if we have found a death for harry

Jacky that sounds right so did they marry in Preston?

That looks good Jacky as she doesn't seem to be on the 1911 census as Hurcombe.
