Trying to find Ann Woods death

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I know Ann Woods was born in 1881, she was 1 month old on the 1881 census.
Father John, Mother Margaret. Born Haythornthwaite, Lancashire.
I found her on the 1901 census, aged 20 now living at Bank Farm, Norden, East Lancashire. I think it is Rochdale district.
Family history says she died in her early 20's but I cannot find her death on genes or freebmd, is anyone able to help or point me in another direction please, I would be very grateful, thank you.

Have you tried Lancsbmd?

In 1911, what do her parents say about how many children they have had, and if any have died?

Have you looked for a marriage for her?

Thank you all so much, sorry I've not checked for 2 days as I was away looking after grandchildren and did not have time for myself.
Family history said she died in early 20's now I know this is not the case and at least she married and had a child, mystery solved.
I will send for her death certificate now I have details.
Thank you all so very much, you are all so helpful and I do appreciate it.
Best wishes.
