Find Ancestors

Thanks Argyllgran I think the clip I found may have been a bit confusing, Erica I will check the link you have posted. Thank you.

If she was Florence Emily Shepherd at death, then it's the 2012 death which I posted earlier.

Well, it should be recorded as such on the GRO site

Easy site to use - check it out

Erica her name was Florence Emily Shepherd at death. :-D

What was the woman’s surname at death?

Does the newspaper clipping say where she died?

The only 2014 death of a Florence Shepherd that I can see is of a Florence Elizabeth, in Somerset.

Go to the GRO website and look for her death. When you find it, order a copy of the cert for last address. Then look for cemeteries in the vicinity. But bear in mind that she may have been cremated

It would be good if you acknowledged the info people have taken the trouble to find for you

I have found a newspaper clipping on line from the Liverpool Echo left by a relative saying that she passed away in 2014. Any idea how to locate the grave site?

That death ??

SHEPHERD, FLORENCE EMILY yob 1920
GRO Reference: DOR Q3/2012 in Hertfordshire (538-1T) Entry Number 507112523

ER for 2002 shows a Florence E Shepherd living in St Albans, Herts.
Age given as 99-103.
I suppose if your Florence were still alive, she would indeed now be 99-100.

There is a tree on ancestry with this on.

Probate record posted by ErikaH shows widow as Frances Hill and a Blackpool address.

?? A William B Hill marries a Frances Shallcross 1963, Barton, Lancs

The marriage you mention to Shepherd is not in the name of Hill, so were she and Hill divorced?

Explains why the marriage wasn't added to the 1939 register

This death matches the Probate record, but NOT the birth year
