Does anyone have access to Ancestry .co.uk public record trees
looking for the death record of William Pickett born 1855 , parents william Pickett and Sarah, spouse Isabella.
The 'Pickett family tree and McCourt family tree appear to have death records ??

Sorry June, there are four trees with William Pickett included, not one of them has a date/place of death. One of them states his mother was Sarah Watts - I don't know whether you have this. Best check it out though, as there is a considerable amount of incorrect data on trees placed on the web (Ancestry and elsewhere).

Best wishes

Where in the world?

If you wish to have help, location info is vital

No death info on the McCourt tree...........born in Gloucs............living in Yorkshire in 1901

The Pickett tree has his birth in Maryland USA, and has a second initial 'F'.

If the request refers to England/Wales, why not look for his death on freebmd?

Thanks Kim,

Sarah Watts is correct, the records I could see but not access had his death recorded in 'England' so I thought there must have been more details :-)

So he was the one born in Gloucestershire.....and living in Yorkshire in 1901 (if the info on the public tree is accurate!).............check Yorkshire deaths post-1901 on freebmd

Flick,

The above Marriage records are correct, last details I know are 1911 living in Bolton as a boarder - found by occupation Brushmaker as they had spelt the name incorrectly - but unable to find his death records ?

Flick,

Sorry about all the posts, I didn't realise that when you added to a post it went back to the top of the list and I appreciate that a lot of information is in different posts
