Hello I need any information about my G.Grandmother I know she is called Barbara davenport and was born in 1916 she died in july 1980 in Blackburn, Lancs she had two children in 1935 and 1939 I really dont know where to look so any info would be appreciated Thankyou

was davenport her maiden name/

yes its her Maiden name

there,s no death ref for a barbara davenport in july qtr1980

have you got any certs ie the death cert etc

i have a entry number 197 which is on a certificate i've seen but it wasnt her death. it also had crem no:19650

Ok give me her married name & i will look for the death cert ref that will also give her date of birth so we can then look for that sounds like you have her ref for a cremation but first things first

Kelly if you can let us know your g. grandmother's married name then it will be easy for someone to look up her death and then find her date of birth.

She had two other surnames - McCorkindale and Nuttall. I think Nuttall was the last

There's a Barbara M Davenport registered for birth in Q1 1917 (you get 6 weeks to reg a birth, so she could have been born in Dec 1916 or even the end of Nov) The details are 1917 Q1 Chesterfield 7b 1359 Mum's maiden name Turner Merry

thers no death reg for barbara mccorkindale july 1980 BUT theres one for Barbara Nuttall dob 21.5.1908 S.Glamorgan 28 2439. this doesnt tie district wise tho with a death in Blackburn or birth date

I have found that death in Glamorgan. Are you sure it's 1980? Fern -x-.

The Glamorgan death is Q4 1980 (ancestry are dishing out the wrong page!!) I thought I'd be clever and check on 1837online, but there are no Barbara Nuttalls in Q3!! Merry

the certificate ive seen said her age was 64 in 1980

Oh, didn't realise you have seen the death cert!! And was she Barbara M??? Does Chesterfield sound likely for a place of birth? There were not many Barbara's around in 1916. Merry

Though she would only be 63 at death for the birth cert I found. Not that that is a problem.....just that as you said she was born in 1916 I only checked 1916 and 1917 Q1. I didn't check 1915. Merry

i dont think it was the death, it had entry no:197 and crem no: 17650 she was cremated at accrington cremetorium does this help?

No Barbara Davenports reg for birth in 1915!! Merry

Are you able to access the crem cert again to check the date and her surname?? Merry

her name on it said Barbara davenport (no M) died 16-07-80 Blackburn Royal Infirmary Hospital death registered on 17-07-80 in Blackburn entry in register of death in no: 197 this info is from a cremation cert
