Hi everyone, just waned to say a very heart felt thanks for the help you have given me so far, you are all fantastic and i sincerely appreciate it.

Hazel, The death indexes on Ancestry just list the info. Margaret gave. To get the address you'd need to order the death certificate. Rose

Hi there margaret, the death date seems correct but the birth date seems very wrong as it says on her headstone 1898 for her birth year. does it say the address she died at as we do know exactly where she died. Many thanks

Hi Hazel Is this the death Priscilla Cartwright 1971 june qt Hemsworth district gro ref vol 2b page 1673. She was born 24th Feb 1892. Margaret

George Cartwright died 1953 July qt Hemsworth age 63 gro ref 2b 518. No date of birth given. Margaret

ok priscilla died in 1971, george died 11th july 1953

Hazel, I use 'findmypast' which is a subscription facility. To find more info on George you'll have to send off for his birth certificate to GRO which costs £7. Pimms

Important note, while you're getting some wonderful help. The date of birth on a headstone might not always be 100% accurate.

As a first port of call for Freebmd information I find it better to use the actual Freebmd site which has better search facility than the copy which is available in Ancestry. It is also more up to date since Ancestry only take a dump once in a while. The address is like http://freebmd*rootsweb*com/ Bryan

Hazel, When did George and Priscilla die? If we can find their deaths on Ancestry a date of birth might be listed next to it. Rose

Hazel, You can search BMDs on Ancestry for free. You just need to register. http://www.ancestry.*co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx Remove the * Rose

The nearest entry is George Richard Cartwright, Year of Registration 1888, Jul-Aug-Sept District Wakefield. Yorkshire, West Riding Volume 9c Page 54.

I found your nanans birthdate by looking her death registration up on Ancestry. Do you know who Millicent married? Maybe you can find her death the same way which will tell you her birthdate. Sam x

Pims where do i find the info for that?

Nanan was the youngest child, she had one older step sister who was milliscent cox who as yet i have not been able to get a birth year, having to guess at it

Hi Priscillas maiden name & widowed name will be on her marriage cert to george. Was your nan the eldest child ??

George Cartwright: Apr-Jun 1890, S. Shields, Vol 10a Page 843

My mum has just said that cox was Priscilla's 1st married name not her maiden name! Any ideas?

OMG - yes birth date is correct. how on earth did u find it?

It looks like Priscilla's maiden name was COX. This is the birth registration for Joyce: Cartwright Joyce H - MMN Cox - Hemsworth - 9c 287 - Q2 1927. You now need to look for a marriage for George Cartwright and Priscila Cox. You can search for free on Ancestry but make sure you search the complete indexes and not the partial ones. Sam x
