HELLO, I WONDER IF SOMEONE COULD LOOK SOMETHING UP FOR ME. I HAVE TRIED LANCASHIRE BMD INDEX BUT CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER DIED. SHE WAS BORN ABOUT 1875. HER NAME AT TIME OF DEATH WOULD BE ELLEN TAYLOR AND SHE CAME FROM HINDLEY NEAR WIGAN IN LANCASHIRE. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF THE YEAR OF DEATH COULD BE FOUND.

MANY THANKS GILL

Hi there Gillian,

What was your gGrandmothers maiden name? you say she was born about 1875? if we can find an exact date it makes it easier to try and find her and other relatives.
