My Aunt said she died when Teresa b.March 1938 was age 2/3 and they think in childbirth I know in 1939 they were in Rochdale Lancashire.

I have managed to get a copy of Margaret Ellen Smith's birth cert 2/4/1937 Chorley Lancs and Lilian still put an X as signature and William was still a general Hawker.

Deaths Mar 1944

Smith
Lilian
44
Bury
8c
507.

a possible ?

about 5 miles from Rochdale.

birth est abt 1899/1900.

IF the DOB given in 1939 is accurate - but may well not be - there's no death of a Lilian/Lillian Smith anywhere in Lancashire 1939-42 of an age which would fit that.

They did travel around a lot, so could have been anywhere after 1939.

Deaths (not in Lancs) which could fit:

Deaths Sep 1940 (>99%)
Smith Lilian 41 Wednesbury 6b 1350

Deaths Jun 1941 (>99%)
Smith Lilian 41 Staincross 9c 538


Or in Lancs, but if later than thought:

Deaths Mar 1944 (>99%)
Smith Lilian 44 Bury 8c 507

However, there's no matching birth of a child, if she did die in childbirth - though of course she may have died soon after but perhaps not in the same place or quarter.

A child registered initially as Betty and then altered to Sheila E was born in Cumberland (Border RD) in Dec qr 1943.
No idea if relevant. No immediately obvious marriage of parents - at least not in Cumberland.

Thank you Folks. Yes they travelled around lots mainly Lancashire Yorkshire and Northumberland. The Bury one looks promising and i will decided over weekend if i will chance another £10 on a cert, have bought three on the family and one was right up to now.....Joanie x

Joanie,
Can i ask what made you discard the 1925 marriage , as not being them

Probably this, Elizabeth
