Hi Kay, a very useful tool is the "Search Trees" facility where you can find out if any other GR members have your family in their tree.
If you are lucky..........you can then contact them and ask for access to view their tree.
Good luck.............PH x

Replying here as you started another thread!

There are 3 private trees on Ancestry with iris on them, are you aware of these?

Hi Kay..........regarding the other thread you posted today (which would be best deleted) there is only one birth entry for Iris Daphne Armstrong........


England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
about Iris Daphne Armstrong
Name: Iris Daphne Armstrong
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1899
Registration district: Marylebone
Registration County: London, Middlesex
Volume: 1a
Page: 599

So perhaps you might reconsider this death entry.......


England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005
about Iris Daphne Armstrong
Name: Iris Daphne Armstrong
Birth Date: 14 Jun 1899
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1980
Age at Death: 81
Registration district: Canterbury
Registration County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 0226

If you purchase the death certificate, it will tell you who the informant was which might help you with your research. PH.


Edit: I think you have gotten confused about where Iris was born...........On the 1901 census it states Iris was born in Paddington.............but if you look at the Registration district, it is Marylebone.
She was born in Paddington and the birth was recorded in Marylebone.

thanks for everyones help on this,just found a death of a iris armstrong born in 1900 died in 1993 in bradford.This question is going to sound stupid,but if she married would her death cert be in her married or maiden name

If she married then her death should have been recorded in her married name.

Just to confuse the issue (Without wishing to do so) anyone can call themselves by any name they chose providing they do not do so for fraudulent purposes. I have encountered ladies who have reverted to their maiden name after a divorce or after being widowed.
