I wonder if anyone can help me try to find what happened to this woman? Known facts are:
Then there are family stories about how Edith (a) lived for a while in Horsley Woodhouse, Derbyshire; (b) was buried with one of her brothers; and (c) moved to Australia.
One of Edith's daughters would like to know where she's buried, but first, of course, we have to find out where she died.
I've searched the death indexes in the UK for Edith Ainsworth and Edith Eley, but there's no result that comes up with the correct birth date of 5 Jan 1900. I've then searched Ancestry for deaths of women called Edith NoSurname (because she could have re-married) with a birthdate of 5 Jan 1900 and there are about half a dozen possibiltiies which I'll try to follow up via trees on Ancestry.
If (c) above was true (and let's face it, who knows - it might just have been a story to quieten an inquisitive child) can anyone help with any Australian searches, or have any ideas about where else I might try, please? Or is it just a wild goose chase?
Thanks
