This one stands out though the age doesn't tie up:

Deaths Mar 1963 (>99%)
TODD MARGUERITE D 64 EDMONTON 5E 601

Also, I can't see a death for a Stephen G Todd in 1937?

Something odd here:

London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965

Name: Marguerite D Todd
Year: 1946
County or Borough: Lambeth
Ward or Division/Constituency: Brixton and Kennington
Street Address: 2 Crowhurst Road

Living there with Stephen G Todd 9 years after his death??

That couple are at 208 Baker Street in 1950

It's either a huge coincidence with the names or WDYTYA haven't been given the correct info.

This ties with the death Beverley posted:

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2006

Name: Stephen G Todd
Birth Date: abt 1896
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1968
Age at Death: 72
Registration district: Enfield
Inferred County: Greater London
Volume: 5b
Page: 135

EDIT: This is the correct registration district for the ER's posted below. This registration district also absorbed Edmonton in 1965 so also ties with the 1963 death above.

I think the 1983 deaths relates to this Dorothy who appears not to have married....

Yes you're right I have just followed him through and he was born as Griffith Stebbings in 1853. So not our man.

WHat about this death? She may not have married but lived with someone after the death of her husband

Gins ... but I thought we'd established she died 5 years before her husband?

Stephen G and Marguerite D are together on the ERs but he's alone from 1963 at 72 Enfield Road and that's the year of the death for her posted above.

The 1937 death that Hilary has given WDYTYA seems to be incorrect.

MC, I cant see another death posted for her? Am I not looking right!


I cant get on Ancestry at the moment, its on and off and I am off out too :-)

Edit, has the opening post changed, I dont remember seeing her hyphonated name earlier?

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 23 Feb 2013 17:54

No was hyphenated from the beginning ( I remember thinking how much I disliked searching for hyphenated names!)

This is the death that Beverley posted earlier on:
