  • Where is my GMother buried???

    Hello everyone,

    I have just found this site, which looks very interesting.
    I am searching for my GMother resting place.

    ELIZA JANE -(ELIZABETH - OR LIZZIE) EVANS
    D.O.B. 1881
    PLACE: BELFAST N. IRELAND
    MAIDEN NAME: McCALLUM
    FIRST MARRIAGE: SMYTH

    Advised that she moved to england, in the 1970's, possibly living
    in Rainham Essex.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Santana

    I would have thought the first thing to do is to find the death registration which will at least give you a location for her death.
    You can search post 1970 death registrations using the date of birth - do you know it?

    ...and welcome to Family Tree Forum!

      are you sure she would have moved in the 70's? she would be in her 90's.

        Have you got her in the 1901 and 1911 for NI?

          I'm jumping the gun here but it's while this posting in in my mind. If she did live in Rainham, then these are the first places you should look at. First the Crematorium and then Rainham cemetary.

            Deceased Online have Havering Cemeteries indexed including Rainham Cemetery and South Essex Crematorium https://www.deceasedonline.com/servlet/GSDOSearch

            I've had a very quick look for an Eliza Evans and couldn't see her but you may want to check for yourself. It's free to search but you have to buy credits to view the full record.

              Hi Elaine,

              Thank you for the welcome!
              No, I do not know the d.o.d.
              I have searched Belfast, and came up with 2 Elizabeth Evans, neither were her.
              All I know is a rumour, that "Lizzie went to Rainham Essex England, to live with her daughter Dolly Rowley in the 1960's"

                ...as I posted above, it is the only thread I have to go on.
                Late 1960's - early 1970's.

                  Hi Margaret,

                  I have her in the 1901 census, unable to locate in 1911 census.
                  However, I have traced her to 1949 Belfast.

                      Have you been able to find out more on her daughter?
                      There are some Eliza Evans in the LG http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/

                        Perhaps if you can give more details of her children and their families especially the daughter Dolly (full name date/place of birth) we might be able to help.

                        If Dolly is likely to be still alive you are not allowed to post the details on the thread but can send by private message to those helping.

                            What Elaine was asking was the date of birth for Lizzie because you can search the death index with a surname and date of birth - do you have that?

                              Hi Margaret,

                              I do not know if this is her or not, however, I shall ask one who may know.
                              Thank you very much for this information!
                              You know what it is like searching genealogy, "this one thinks one thing, another, something else"

                                  Sorry I misunderstood.
                                  Lizzie's d.o.b was 1881, Belfast N. Ireland.

                                    Just the year is not enough to distinguish her from others with the same name we need the day and month too! It would be easier if her name was not so common and if we had a better idea of where she died.

                                    Another thought might be to see if there is any trace of her death in Belfast. I used this site http://www.belfastforum.co.uk/index....ba0f192ac7005b to look for my grandparent's grave and the kind people on there found some newspaper announcements of grandmother's death and then we found them in Dundonald Cemetery. Unfortunately there is no headstone but I was able to confirm which grave it was and give me the names of others in the same grave.
