Elizabeth's son Thomas died in Hereford, making the Hereford death for Elizabeth feasible. She may have been living with him and his wife in her later years:

Thomas Alexander Wharton
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name Thomas Alexander Wharton
Death Age 68
Birth Date 12 Mar 1919
Registration Date Oct 1987
Registration district Hereford
Inferred County Hereford and Worcester
Volume 29
Page 285


Thomas A Wharton
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name Thomas A Wharton
Registration Date Oct 1940 [Nov 1940] [Dec 1940]
Registration Quarter Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration district Hereford
Inferred County Herefordshire
Spouse Rosetta E Price
Volume Number 6a
Page number 1959

His wife Rosetta died in Hereford in 2001.


To know definitely one way or the other re Elizabeth's death, you'd still have to buy the 1973 death cert.

Elizabeth Jane Ormston’s BIRTH was registered in JFM 1899, so her birth date would actually have been one year earlier than the 1939 register states

ADDED

Registration Place Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England
Volume 10b

This may be the Herefordshire death mentioned - but it's impossible to say if that's the right woman or not, without buying a copy of the cert:

Deaths Dec 1973 (>99%)
WHARTON ELIZABETH JANE 31DE1897 HEREFORD 9A 65

The date of birth doesn't match the 1939 Register - but depends on how accurate the informant's knowledge/belief was.

Her husband's death cert will say if she was alive in 1965 or not.

She's in 30 trees on Ancestry.
Several of them give a supposed year of death for her - some say 1976 and some say 1974.
Some say Newcastle, one says Herefordshire.
None of them give any proof, nor an exact date.

Family don't know where Elizabeth died

Elizabeth's husband Thomas Alexander Wharton died in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1965. I am beginning to wonder if she remarried?

Hi
I am trying to find the death of Elizabeth Jane Wharton nee Ormston who family say died in the 1970's. Elizabeth was born 28/12/1899 in Newcastle upon Tyne and married Thomas Alexander Wharton in 1918 Newcastle upon Tyne. The most recent record I have found is the 1939 register for Newcastle upon Tyne with Elizabeth J, husband Thomas A and children John, Janet and Margaret.
Would you be able to help me find this death as I am just not seeing it?
Thank you
Jack
