Good find Dea. As the baby died too, over the years it may have been assumed that Jessie's death was as result of Elsie's birth.

She 'may' still have died in (or as a result of) childbirth but possibly it was with Mary Jane?

Heather said she has a 1908 death cert for Jessie in 1908.

I am assuming she means the death of a Jessie Goddard???

In which case..........she didn't die in childbirth??

Edit:....Christine deleted her post.

Heather

Heather Report 16 Aug 2014 21:19

Safc, I have this certificate. Jessie died in 1908 got this cert. too..
Thanks for all the effort you have all put in. I shall leave it for now and try to see if I can get to a records office for South Shields and see if I can find a baptism for Elsie instead.

Have you found a death for Jessie?

Researching:

Heather

Heather Report 16 Aug 2014 21:11

Yes. I am beginging to wonder whether her birth was registered under her fathers surname and that the Douthwaites just used their surname thereafter. If so I will not be able to find her birth index as no one knows who Elsies father was.

Not seeing a death for Jessie? if she died giving birth I thought it would help pinpoint the qtr for birth reg?

Researching:

rootgatherer Report 16 Aug 2014 21:01

Could be that she has just been from the index.

Have you checked to see if there are births for the right area and quarter registered as Female Douthwaite?
