Find Ancestors

Can anyone help me to find the correct death record of my grand mother.
Her married name was Caroline Wilson nee Heathcote, born 21 april 1891 widow of Henry James wilson.I think she died in Lancashire between 1973 and 1975
either in the first quarter or the 4th quarter unfortunately the purson who registered the details gave some wrong information GrO wont help I have to buy all the possible certificates which could set me back quite a fortune

The incorrect info was her christian name and date of birth. they used a pet name I think
all I know is my dad went mad when they told him but all these people have now passed over so I cannot ask them I was away at sea at the time so cannot remember exactly when I was told
The reason the mistakes were made was it was considered rude to ask someone there name and date of birth very old fashioned Ideas in my family :-)
If I get the wrong certs can I return them and get a refund?
Thankyou all for the info I was heading to that one dont know what she was doing in barton though

Hello David - no, afraid you won't get a refund if it's wrong.

You say she was registered using her "pet name" - do you know what that name was?

Is this your Caroline ?

She did use to live in Manchester Hulme but when my Granddad passed she went to live with her Daughter in Lacey Green Macclesfield but when she passed she was away from home visiting friends Mike yes the stafforshire one is mine, they moved to manchester when my father was little. I have sent for the barton Certificate to see if it is the one, I wish relatives would get the correct facts before making an official doccument would have saved a lot of bother
thankyou everyone for your help sofar

At the time this woman died, the maiden name was recorded on the death cert

Just stipulate that the maiden name must be Heathcote when applying to the GRO........or to LancsBMD

Hi Reggie thanks for that advice
