Yes - from the info given it looks very likely.

I didnt know that thanks for letting me know, so it could still be her then. :)

Hi Rebecca,

Jill's right. The death registration is only as accurate as the information provided by the informant. My g/grandmother was born Flora but on her death cert, she was registered as Florrie.




Deb:)

She may well have been given the name Ann Craig at birth but known as Annie all of her life. (The Cockburn in the birth register is her mother's maiden name.) Then the person registering her death (her aunt?) may only have ever called her Annie so gave that name to the registrar.

Jill

I just checked the births, so if her death cert was listed as annie craig she couldnt be the same person if the birth is listed as Ann cockburn craig then.

You might be able to find electoral lists which will help with a surname at the aunt's address. Women won't generally be listed until a couple of years later though.

Mary Cockburn in the 1871 census would be Annie's aunt too.

Thanks every one for looking all this up,I should have my grandads birth cert by the end of the week so i can see if i can make out that last name better (if its registered by her aunt again) it looks like it could be so hopefully it is cockburn.

Also I noticed interestingly the address', annie craig died in the next street to walkergate called coxons lane and her aunt was living off walkergate lane on the other side down chapel st in 1926.

Yes. The aunt is called M. Cockburn?

Ann/Annie has her mother's maiden name as her middle name.

So M. Cockburn may be Annie's mother's sister, or sister-in-law.


Edit: Assuming that M. Cackhurm/Cackhurn is M. Cockburn.

Cant be her because the m must be the intial of her first name i think.

Could this be her....registered as Ann not Annie? Her middle name is Cockburn which could be the name of her Aunt.

Theres a name of her aunt but i cant make out it properly it looks like: m.cackhurm. or cackhurn but i could be totally wrong cause it doesnt sound right.

Do you know who registered the death and birth?

Rose

Yeah she did

I think she had a sister but i dont know what her name was though.
