I know this has been said again and again re the value of getting a death cert BUT I have never had such a brilliant result from one before!
Re my Catherine Rooney/Cearns from yesterday
Her death certificate arrived today, it confirms that she was born in 1883. Informant was a daughter we didn't know existed and doesn't appear on the 1911 census as she was born just after census taken. I have since found this daughters marriage and the children from that marriage. My husband has cousins he didn't know existed!! Am so lucky that not only is Cearns an unusal name but she married a Limacher, very unsual!!
After the frustrations of yesterday am on a real high today!!
So moral of story is I suppose is that although they not as exciting as births and marriage certs, death certs sometimes supply us with real gems of info.
