Julie, if you have no idea of when she died it will be a long, arduous task. Sarah Chapman is a fairly common name, even in West Ham where youngest was born. |

thanks Ozbird I know she died before the 60's as thats when I was born would a death cert have your husbands name on it even if he was dead as well as I think I will have to order a few certs with her name on |

The death certificate of a woman often says under the occupation column...."Wife of.......or Widow of......" |

After about 1930 you could start looking for her on electoral rolls. What information are you wanting to get? |

I would reckon you might be able to narrow it down slightly, age-wise. If she was married in 1894 and her last child was born in 1913, that suggests to me she is likely to have been born somewhere between c.1865 (making her 48 when the youngest arrived) and c.1878 (making her about 16 at marriage and 35 when the youngest arrived). |

It can only be narrowed down from 1913. My grandmother was born in 1878 & lived until 1992. That's a lot of quarters to trawl through, & will it be the correct Sarah Chapman? |
