Looks good to me! Well done!!

In my opinion, the death for Sara is correct but Richard looks to have gone on to marry Martha Bray.

So Richard could have remarried after Sarah died in 1895?

Sorry, I have seen your further answers after my last reply.

YES! I would say the PREST details are spot on : )

And maybe Sarah did die between 1891 + 1901 and Richard remarried MArtha?

This is great
thanks

Hello Maureen & Catherine
Many thanks for this - I am afraid I do not know Richards details other than the marriage I found on the Lancashire Free BMD search.

TYldesley & Leigh are all pretty much the same, and these records do look quite possible don't you think?

So is it saying Richard & Sarah died in the same qtr in 1895 just a month or so after the birth of there child Sarah in qtr 1 in 1895? :-(

I could do with finsing the death certs to see if I can find an address or maybe the informant in case it was James who was aged 1 in 1881?

THis is getting closer I think : )

Cheers
Lorraine

Thanks
