Hi Robin I ended up going through the GRO indexes on findmypast quarter by quarter for about 35 years. Still did not find the precise thing I wanted - the death of my g grandfather - but a couple of possibles, a bit misspelt! If you have not done that, maybe you will find her that way using her last married name. You could do the same for a possible marriage, I suppose. And then, Jayes etc - what could J look like? L? A long drawn out S? Maybe even an I, and having seen some of those transcriptions by Indians, that is not impossible either despite the name Iayes seeming very unlikely to me.

JEYES I have found her up to the 1911 census . In 1911 she was a widow at 124 Somerset St. Handsworth.. I cannot find her death after that . I wondered if she remarried but she was 74 in 1911 , not impossible but not likely I would think. I have checked death indexes under her married name and her maiden name of Griffiths. Is there some other death index than Ancestry , the Mormon site and Free BDM ? I would like her death certificate if I could narrow things down . Suggestions please? Robin .
