You will only know the wife's name if you order the cert as we won't know to cross referernce it with. There must be death cert can you tell us exactly the details that you do know? Pippa

I haven't a clue pippa, someone asked me what i thought and its been bugging me, as far as i know it was 'at birth'there won't be a death cert as they don't know the grandmother/mothers first name only the dad who was william griffith i have a marraige in liverpool for ; WILLIAM GRIFFITH jul/aug/sep 1897 west derby vol 8b page 939, (1837online). so if some kind soul could find his wifes name i could look up to see if she died,...

Have you got a copy of the death certificate as that might be easier to find? Dying in childbirth - does she mean literally or from an infection 3 weeks later which could mean that it is in a different quarter? Pippa
