Hello i am new to this list and hoping somebody in Sheffield may be able to help me. We just cant find the death of this lady above anywhere. On the free BMD i found a Sarah Ann Merrill who died in Sheffield on September in 1901 aged 47. Now that would work out to her birth date and I know she had a sister living in that area around that time. Her husband was Henry Merrill and he died died around 1890 in Lincoln where he was born. Sarah Ann was born a Sargison in Parson Drove Cambridge to Jane nee Griffin and Micheal Martin Sargison. Would there be some kind person who could check that death for me in Shefield. Regards Mary in New Zealand

Surely the easiest way would be to order the death certificate? With luck she would be described as 'widow of' and maybe her sister reported the death so you could be sure you have the correct person. Alternatively look at the Sheffield Indexers site: www.sheffieldindexers.com . Maybe that will give you extra information Regards Margaret Switzerland On 3 Nov 2009, at 08:50, Les Turner wrote: > Hello i am new to this list and hoping somebody in Sheffield may be > able to help me.
