Value of death certificates

[Chrissie Smiff]

I'm really pleased for you Fuzzy

Thanks girls, this family are turning into one of the most interesting I have done! My husbands grandmother whose death cert it was has lost so many children plus her husband to TB, it really tugs at the heart strings. We still cannot fathom out why my husbands mum ended up in Scotland aged 9 though, this did coincide with her father dying, but her mother was still alive. Can only assume that losing her husband and so many children she lost the plot abit!

If she was brought up by relatives then that might have been a way of helping out at a bad time.

Yes I agree Margaret, she was brought up by her Aunt who married a Scotmans. What I cannot understand is why she told nobody about her sister who married and had children in Wales. Also a brother who didn't die until the 1970's
