Find Ancestors

hi i am looking for the death of my gggrandmother so as i can order her death cert
i type her name and place of abode into free bmd
but i get 1000s of people by her name
she lived and i believe died in Woodplumpton i think this is or was in Lancashire
it is i am told quite a small place but i cannot seem to narrow search down however i try
i know that there cannot be 1000s of people by her name in a small villagge
her name was Margaret Moon and i know she was dead by the 1911 census
any advice on how to search for her death date and certificate very welcome
thanks Keith

After 1869 the age at death is on the GRO index

Use your knowledge of her birth year to cross-refer on freebmd

Use genuki to find the correct registration district for Woodplumpton

EDIT

It's PRESTON............easily found by looking at a map

Can you give us more info please? Date of birth, husband and childrens names. There are several possibles on 1901 census.

You really should have no problem in finding this info for yourself..................

I hope you will be allowed the chance to do so.........

There are two living in Woodplumpton in 1901

Margaret Moon William abt 1849 Blackburn, Lancashire, England Wife Woodplumpton, Lancashire

Margaret Moon Richard abt 1849 Treales, Lancashire, England Wife Woodplumpton, Lancashire

Woodplumpton should come under the Preston Registration District.

Was she still alive in 1901 and if so where was she living?

are you sure she had died before 1911?
