Hi all
I am looking for the death of one of my rellies before 1911 in Mansfield. She was called Edith Radford, married to Henry Radford in 1888, her maiden surname was Carline. Her husband died in 1898 in Mansfield. Edith was 33 in 1901, her children were looked after by various people in the 1911 census which included my g grandma. I have looked and looked but cant find anything so hopefully another pair of eyes could reveal something.

There are several Edith Radfords. Maybe she re-maried and died under a different name.
Were her children Lettie, Harry, Walter & Ethel?

Researching:
Newman, Pavey, Sinden from Sussex. Latham from Bucks & Herts

Mmm you have me thinking now, the information i have that she died came from my great grandma who died in the late 70s, it could explain why she never spoke about any of her family espesially if her mum did remarry and they didnt get along. Will have to do abit more digging i think, thanks for all your help.
