I have the death cert of who i think is my 2x gt grandmother
Dinah Sowter was born Jan 1799 in Bolehill Derbyshire, daughter of George Sowter and Dinah Simms
Married William Shipley in 1824 St Alkmund Derby
2 children, Sarah born 1827 and William born 1830, both baptised as adults in 1844
The death cert i have is for a Diana Shipley died 1838 aged 38, place of death is St Peters, a nurse is the informant
1841 census has the son William in St Peters workhouse and Sarah is with her grandfather George . Dont know where William the father is.
Questions,
1. could Dinah and Diana be the same person?
2, Could St peters on the cert refer to the workhouse where her son was?
I think i have the right cert for Dinah/Diana, but feel i would like the opinion of someome more experienced than i am.
Thank you for any help
Sylvia
